The wisdom teeth (third molars) are located in the back of the mouth, and they generally erupt, or become visible, between the ages of 17 and 25. There are usually four wisdom teeth, two on the upper jaw and two on the lower, but some people only have one or two, and some individuals have none. Not everyone needs to have these teeth removed, but in many cases there are benefits to having them extracted even if there is sufficient room in the mouth to house them. Impacted wisdom teeth are common. This is when the teeth lack room to fit comfortably within the jaw, grow at an angle rather than straight up, or otherwise become trapped and never erupt. Each of these situations can be the cause of discomfort, damage, and bite alignment issues. Our dentists can examine your wisdom teeth and suggest an appropriate course of treatment to address any issues and preserve the health of your teeth and gums.
