Wisdom teeth are known for being unpredictable. For many people, the crowns of these third molars begin to form between the ages of 8 and 12 and erupt sometime between their 17th and 21st birthdays. However, wisdom teeth that are impacted or partially impacted may take longer to appear.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when wisdom teeth are likely to emerge, but extraction sometime between the ages of 18 and 20 minimizes the risk of complications.
\nWhatever the case, there are many reasons to have wisdom teeth removed<\/a>, as they can cause a number of oral problems and there are certain signs that indicate when it\u2019s time to proceed with wisdom tooth extraction. In this article, our maxillofacial surgery<\/a> specialists list them for you.<\/p>\n

When a wisdom tooth is partially erupted<\/h2>\n

Partially impacted wisdom teeth<\/a> are teeth that only emerge partway. In such cases, bacteria may accumulate in the gums, causing the tissue around the tooth to become irritated and inflamed. This is called pericoronitis<\/a>. The inflammation can cause considerable jaw pain, a bad taste in the mouth, and difficulty opening the mouth and chewing.<\/p>\n

To resolve the problem, start by taking particular care with your oral hygiene. However, if the inflammation and pain persist, you will need to eliminate the source of the problem\u2014the partially impacted wisdom tooth.<\/p>\n

When there isn\u2019t enough space<\/h2>\n

When a wisdom tooth erupts, it may crowd the other teeth. If the jaw is too small to accommodate new teeth, wisdom teeth may even become stuck underneath the second molars.<\/p>\n

We strongly recommend having a specialist look at your mouth and jaw before the onset of symptoms. X-rays<\/a> can help determine the size of the jaw, position of the wisdom teeth and whether they are likely to cause problems. With this information, the dental surgeon can intervene quickly and remove the wisdom teeth before they become a serious problem.<\/p>\n

When wisdom teeth have cavities<\/h2>\n

Wisdom teeth can be difficult to reach when brushing, so it\u2019s not uncommon for them to develop cavities. Cavities must be treated in order to prevent further complications<\/a>. In many cases, it may prove preferable to proceed to a wisdom teeth removal<\/a> rather than repair them. Particularly when it comes to wisdom teeth, extraction is one of the best ways to eliminate cavities.<\/p>\n
