Why Wisdom Teeth Extraction Is Necessary
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually appearing in the late teens to early twenties. Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but extractions are often necessary when:
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth fail to fully emerge through the gums, becoming trapped or impacted.
- Overcrowding: There's insufficient space in the jaw, leading to crowding and misalignment of other teeth.
- Infection and Decay: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are hard to clean, leading to an increased risk of decay, gum disease, and infection.
- Cysts or Tumors: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to the formation of cysts or tumors, which can damage the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
