🦷 What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people may have all four, some fewer, and a few don’t develop them at all!

⚠️ Do They Always Need Removal?

Not necessarily. Wisdom teeth need removal only when they cause problems, such as:

✅ Pain or swelling
✅ Repeated infections or gum issues
✅ Decay in adjacent teeth
✅ Difficulty in cleaning
✅ Crowding or misalignment of other teeth
✅ Cyst formation around impacted teeth

🧐 When Can They Stay?

Wisdom teeth can stay in place if they:

✔️ Erupt fully in the right position
✔️ Are healthy and decay-free
✔️ Can be cleaned properly
✔️ Don’t cause any discomfort

Your dentist will assess this with a clinical exam and X-ray.

🚫 Delaying Removal Can Lead To:

❌ Infection
❌ Damage to neighboring teeth
❌ Bone loss
❌ Cyst or tumor development

✅ Early Evaluation Is Key!

Visiting the dentist before symptoms begin helps in timely decision-making and avoiding future complications.
