What are Wisdom teeth?
As we grow older, our mouth and teeth go through various changes. 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. In many cases, wisdom teeth need to be extracted to prevent further oral health problems. We will explore why someone may need to have their wisdom teeth extracted and the benefits of doing so.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure that can have numerous benefits for your oral health. By removing impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth, you can prevent further oral health problems, relieve pain and discomfort, improve bite alignment, and preserve the health of your other teeth.
