Wondering when to remove wisdom teeth? As a patient ages, it is guaranteed that they will at some point gain their wisdom teeth. For some, this causes no issues and their dental health is never affected, but for others, the growth of their wisdom teeth can cause a serious alteration in the appearance of their smile.
Determining when to remove wisdom teeth
To determine if removing a patient’s wisdom teeth is the best treatment option, our dentist will evaluate how the wisdom teeth are growing through x-rays and examining the patient’s mouth. Most candidates for wisdom teeth removal have evidence of pain, infection, gum disease, or tooth decay due to abnormal growth of their wisdom teeth.
The dentist may also recommend wisdom teeth removal as part of the treatment for braces or other dental care. Ultimately, wisdom teeth removal is recommended to improve a patient’s oral health that would otherwise deteriorate if the teeth were left inside the mouth.
When wisdom teeth grow correctly, they greatly aid in chewing. However, if they grow incorrectly, it can lead to a variety of oral complications for dental patients.
