Wisdom Teeth Removal

1. Wisdom Teeth Removal Our Mouths Have Greatly Evolved Over The Centuries, Leaving Wisdom Teeth With No Real Purpose! Problems with Wisdom Teeth? Wisdom teeth are the third & last molars on each side of both jaws. For various people, wisdom teeth may develop in smoothly – or not at all. For others, wisdom teeth can feel a little like party crashers, showing up late and causing troubles. Ever wondered why people grow wisdom teeth especially so long after the rest of their adult teeth come through? It all comes down to evolution. Our early ancestors needed those extra back molars to grind tough foods, such as stems and bark. However, we don’t need them now we eat a different array of foods, and have evolved to use tools and utensils to process them. In the meantime, though, our jaws have evolved to be smaller, but we haven’t evolved to not grow the extra teeth, meaning wisdom teeth will try to grow even when there’s no room for them. Wisdom teeth typically emerge from 16-20 years of age. They start forming when you’re around ten years old, but as they’re the last teeth to develop, they don’t erupt until much later. If there is not enough room to accommodate them they can become impacted or exert pressure on the surrounding teeth. This can often be very painful and if impacted wisdom teeth are left untreated, it is possible for them to form abscesses under the gum line. Dentists may also check the progression of wisdom teeth in patients around fifteen years and over, to detect any potential problems before they develop into serious health risks. Assessment And Treatment We will assess your wisdom teeth and recommend whether wisdom tooth removal is necessary for your individual condition. In some cases, wisdom teeth will erupt evenly and without impacting other teeth. X-rays may be required to see which way the tooth is trying to go. You may need to book Wisdom Tooth Removal for one, two, or all of them. It is generally wise’ to have wisdom teeth removal when they first begin to emerge, as younger patients tend to heal much faster and have less downtime after extraction. This is because the formation of the tooth’s root is not complete, so there are fewer possible complications, and therefore fewer overall risks.
