Understanding Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While they served a purpose for our ancestors who required extra chewing power, modern human jaws often lack the space to accommodate these additional teeth. As a result, wisdom teeth can become impacted, leading to discomfort, infection, and potential dental complications.

Typically, your general dentist will be the first to recommend wisdom teeth removal. Even if you’re not experiencing any discomfort, your dentist will likely identify the emergence of your wisdom teeth on X-rays and advise you to consult with our oral surgeon to explore your removal options.
