Wisdom teeth typically emerge in the early or late teenage years. These teeth once served a purpose in our ancestors, but with modern dietary changes and smaller jaw sizes, they often lack the necessary space to erupt properly. Due to their late arrival and potential for misalignment, wisdom teeth can cause various oral health complications, including pain, infections, and damage to neighboring teeth.
There often isn't enough space for wisdom teeth to erupt, leading to a host of potential issues. These include impaction, pain, swelling, and infection. Additionally, wisdom teeth may grow at angles that threaten adjacent teeth, increasing the risk of dental crowding, misalignment, and damage to surrounding structures. Removing problematic wisdom teeth can alleviate discomfort, prevent oral health complications, and safeguard the alignment and integrity of your smile.
