Why wisdom teeth cause problems
Wisdom teeth are the last molars at the back of the mouth, and they usually come through between the ages of 17 and 25. Often there is not enough room for them, so they come through only partly, grow at an angle or stay trapped in the jaw (impacted).
Partly erupted wisdom teeth are hard to clean, and the gum over them can become swollen and infected. Before recommending removal, your dentist takes an X-ray to see the position of the tooth and its roots.
Is this right for you?
- Pain or swelling at the back of your mouth
- A swollen, sore gum over a wisdom tooth that keeps coming back
- Food gets trapped behind your back teeth
- Decay in the wisdom tooth or the tooth next to it
- Pain when you open your mouth wide or chew
- Your dentist or orthodontist has advised removal
Types of wisdom teeth
Do all wisdom teeth need to come out?
No. Wisdom teeth that have come through fully, are healthy and can be cleaned well can often stay. Your dentist checks them at your regular check-ups and recommends removal only if they cause problems or are likely to. Complex cases may be referred to an oral surgeon.
