Wisdom teeth facts When to remove and when not
to remove wisdom teeth

• Wisdom teeth, despite their name, do not make
  anyone wiser! The term wisdom teeth came from
  the belief that the early 20s was traditionally
  the age of wisdom.
• Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars to
  emerge near the end of adolescence. When they
  emerge from the gums, they can cause significant
  pain and crowd the existing teeth. Worse, they
  can be a source of dental pain, gum bleeding,
  cyst formation, sinusitis, and even jaw
  misalignment. Thus, depending on your condition,
  your dentist may recommend wisdom teeth
  extraction in Mount Waverley.
• So, let us understand when you should and should
  not get your wisdom teeth extracted.
• When Not to Remove Wisdom Teeth
• Not everyone requires wisdom teeth removal in
  Mount Waverley, it depends on the persons oral
  condition. Wisdom teeth appear between
  adolescence and young adulthood by this time,
  most of us would have lost our milk teeth, and
  permanent teeth would have taken their place. It
  means there is no room for more teeth to grow
  thus, the sudden eruption of wisdom teeth becomes
  a problem.
• However, there are some situations in which a
  dentist would advise against having wisdom teeth
  extracted, such as
• Wisdom teeth being healthy
• Completely grown in (fully erupted in the gum)
• Correctly positioned without affecting your bite
• They are cleanable with a toothbrush and floss.
• When do Wisdom Teeth Became a Problem

• They may grow partially through the gums, making
  them difficult to clean and see. If they are not
  cleaned properly, they can become a breeding
  ground for bacteria and cause serious oral
  problems.
• Wisdom teeth may not erupt and remain trapped
  within the gum and the jaw. This can result in
  abscesses and infections, and damage the roots of
  neighbouring teeth. They can even disintegrate
  the bone support.
• The wisdom teeth may fully erupt, but they can
  cause crowding and damage to the healthy
  surrounding teeth.
• Some dentists may advise you to have wisdom teeth
  extracted even before they erupt from your gums
  to avoid future problems. They mostly recommend
  this option to younger patients because they
  recover faster and are less prone to oral
  infections than adults.
