🦷 Why Do People Need Their Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to come in—usually between ages 17–25—and for many people, they simply don’t have enough room to grow in properly. When that happens, these teeth can cause more harm than good.
Here’s why removal is often recommended:
👉 Impaction: Wisdom teeth can get stuck under the gums or jawbone, causing pain, swelling, and infection.
👉 Crowding: They can push against your other teeth, undoing orthodontic work or shifting your bite.
👉 Decay & Gum Issues: Because they’re hard to reach, wisdom teeth often develop cavities or lead to gum inflammation.
👉 Cysts or Damage: Impacted teeth can form cysts or damage nearby teeth and bone.
Removing wisdom teeth early can help you avoid pain, protect your smile, and maintain long-term oral health.
