Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that can significantly improve your oral health. Also known as third molars, wisdom teeth are typically the last set of teeth to emerge, usually in your late teens or early twenties. Because they are the last to erupt, there often is not enough room in your mouth to accommodate them. This lack of space can cause various issues, including impacted teeth, which are unable to fully break through the gum tissue and jawbone, or teeth that grow at incorrect angles.

If wisdom teeth do not emerge properly, they can lead to several complications, such as:

  • Disturbance of the natural alignment of your teeth or any orthodontic work you have undergone.
  • Damage to neighboring teeth, which can cause pain and require additional dental work.
  • Increased risk of tooth decay and cavities, as wisdom teeth are hard to clean due to their location.
  • Infection and inflammation in the gums and surrounding tissues, which can be painful and lead to more serious health issues.
  • Formation of cysts, which can damage the jawbone and nearby teeth.
