Nearly all of us develop wisdom teeth and wish we didn’t. Most of us have them on each side of our mouth, upper and lower. Strictly speaking, they are our third set of molars. In fact, they are visitors from a previous life that have outlived their welcome and usefulness.

Why is wisdom teeth removal necessary?

Believe it or not, “wisdom” teeth don’t boost your IQ. They earned that name because they usually begin to appear between the ages of 17 and 25, a time when you are said to be wiser than you were in your childhood years. These four large adult teeth are located at the back corners of your mouth. As your oral health partner for life, we will likely recommend wisdom teeth extraction because these teeth can do more harm than good.

If left in, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, a cyst around the wisdom tooth, and damage to another tooth or surrounding bone. Some people lack wisdom teeth – they are the lucky ones and not the majority! Did you know …

90% of people have at least one wisdom tooth that will cause undesirable symptoms.
85% of wisdom teeth will need to be removed at some point.
51% of wisdom teeth won’t show symptoms with gum disease or cavities.
