About Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth that grow in your mouth. However, these may not erupt until your late teens or early twenties. Do keep in mind that not everyone develops wisdom teeth. Not everyone develops wisdom teeth. However, those that do usually see their wisdom teeth push through the gums or remain impacted between ages 17-21. Most people get four wisdom teeth – one in each corner of the mouth.
The arrival of these late-breaking teeth can cause trouble as they are often impacted (trapped in the jawbone) because there is not enough room for them in the mouth. Our jaws are a lot smaller than those of our early human ancestors, who needed bigger jaws and more teeth for the type of food they chewed. In most people, wisdom teeth can do more harm than good and we often recommend their removal.

Wisdom teeth removal: When is it necessary?
It can take a long time for wisdom teeth to erupt and you may not even notice the harmful effects in your mouth until you experience sudden and severe discomfort. Cramped for room, impacted wisdom teeth grow out at odd angles or remain trapped below the gumline. Adjacent teeth can become prone to decay because of the unfavourable position of the wisdom teeth.
By looking at your medical history, examining your teeth and taking x-rays, we’re better able to predict if your wisdom teeth may cause distress in the future. If you have a current or potential dental problem, early removal may be necessary.
Should removal be necessary, Crystal dental does have solutions available to relieve any anxiety you may have by using sedation.
