Wisdom teeth are a common problem, and nearly everyone will have to deal with them at some stage in their life A few lucky ones will not have any problems whatsoever stemming from this, if the teeth grow properly positioned, and can be cleaned normally. However, in most cases, the teeth grow in awkward positions, and are partially or totally impacted. When they grow trapped in awkward angles that affect other teeth, they need to be scheduled for tooth extraction.

Problems requiring wisdom teeth removal usually occur from 18 years of age onward. Removal is oftentimes required because wisdom teeth remain completely hidden within the gums. They remain trapped and impacted within the jaw, and can damage other teeth, roots or even bone support.

When wisdom teeth partially emerge, that’s no better than them not emerging at all. The area between the second and third molar usually become a bacteria breeding ground. There’s also the problem of teeth not having enough room to grow, since the impacted molar crowds any remaining room for other teeth.

When such things happen, a dental specialist is called in to remove the wisdom teeth, especially if they show severe symptoms. These could include pain, cysts, damage to other teeth, or infections leading to tooth decay and gum disease.

Dentists from Drury Dental and other clinics recommend removal. It’s better to prevent the symptoms from happening than wait for them to begin – alternately, a patient should have the operation done as soon as signs of severe teeth problems are seen.
