What are your Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last tooth to grow into your mouth ( between ages 17 and 25).
They’re called “wisdom” teeth because they appear later in life.
Most patients have four, but some might have less. Often, there isn’t enough space in the jaw, leading to problems like:
Impaction: Teeth get stuck in the jaw or gums, causing pain or swelling and discomfort for the patient.
Compromised cleaning: Their position makes them more prone to cavities and gum disease.
Some wisdom teeth grow in as anyother tooth, some do nt and will need intervention, monitoring by your dentist with clinical review and xrays.
Usually their removal needs a dental surgical procedure, thats one of the services we provide at smile and shine family dental clinic.
