3. Common Facts And Myths About Wisdom Teeth We’ve heard this before, the pains associated with getting your wisdom teeth extracted. From countless stories, discussions and controversies around the third molars, it really isn’t a surprise that wisdom teeth or third molars are mostly considered alarming. But, the fact remains far from this unnecessary hype. While wisdom teeth could probably cause crowding, most often they do not cause worry. Sometimes, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no pain. Let’s learn a little more about wisdom teeth and in particular, the myths surrounding them.

4. What are wisdom teeth? Typically, between 17 and 21 years of age, there is the growth of wisdom teeth or third molars. They’re called “wisdom” teeth because they appear at an age that is considered wise or mature. Most often, we hear that when wisdom teeth erupt, the best way is to treat them is to get them removed. This advice is mostly followed by how painful the extraction process is. But, wait, not everybody needs to get this done! Until the dentist or an oral specialist recommends getting an extraction done, it’s hard to tell. Just like the fear associated with wisdom teeth, there are quite a few myths about wisdom teeth. Let’s look at some of them:

An X-ray of your teeth after 17 years is the best way to check if there are wisdom teeth, waiting to erupt, underneath the gums or simply absent. 1. It’s easy to know if you have or don’t have Wisdom Teeth The truth: The jawbone or soft tissue that surrounds the wisdom tooth makes it difficult to sense the presence of wisdom teeth.

7. An extraction is recommended if there is: Damage to the jaw ● Damage caused to surrounding teeth ● Inflammation of the gums ● Problems such as sinus ● Teeth decay ●

8. 1. Wisdom Teeth are basically useless The truth: Historically, the foods eaten were coarse, hard and mostly undercooked. For those times, wisdom teeth helped in chewing the food better.
