One of the most common oral changes that many people experience is the growth of their wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While they were once an essential part of our ancestral diet, they can now cause problems due to the size of our modern human jaws. We will explore why someone may need to have their wisdom teeth extracted and the benefits of doing so.
People may consider extracting wisdom teeth for a variety of reasons, including:
One of the main reasons for wisdom teeth extraction is impaction. This occurs when the wisdom teeth are unable to fully emerge from the gums, leading to discomfort and even infection.
As our mouths become more crowded, there is simply not enough room for the wisdom teeth to come in properly. This can lead to misalignment of the other teeth, causing discomfort and affecting the bite.
Wisdom teeth that are partially impacted or that have improper alignment can be difficult to clean properly, making them more susceptible to decay and gum disease.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure that can have numerous benefits for your oral health. Some of the benefits include:
You can prevent further oral health problems such as decay, gum disease, and misalignment of the other teeth.
If your wisdom teeth are causing pain and discomfort, extraction can quickly relieve these symptoms.
Extracting wisdom teeth can improve bite alignment and prevent future problems.
Wisdom teeth can also affect the health of adjacent teeth by pushing and damaging them.
Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort, swelling, or shifting when they don’t grow in properly. Removing them early can protect your smile and prevent future oral health issues.
