Why Wisdom Teeth May Require Removal
Your wisdom teeth are usually the last to erupt in the mouth. There are two in the upper part of the jaw and two in the lower. They usually begin to develop in your teenage years to late twenties. Some wisdom teeth might never cause problems while others can result in tooth decay, pain, crowding of teeth and worse.
The following are signs that you may require wisdom teeth extraction:
- Crowding teeth
- Damage to the adjacent teeth
- Discomfort
- Gum disease
- Impaction
- Tooth decay
- Tumours or cysts
