Do We Need Them?
In adult life, we very seldom use our wisdom teeth for chewing. In fact, because they are hard to reach when brushing or flossing, wisdom teeth make it difficult to maintain proper oral care. Leaving wisdom teeth in their place therefore compromises oral hygiene and, in turn, compromises the health of important, adjacent molar teeth. At Southland Dental Care, we provide the most comfortable, relaxed setting to get wisdom teeth removed in the most painless and efficient procedure.
What Are Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final set of teeth to emerge in the mouth. They typically grow out when a patient is between the ages of 17 and 25 and get their name from this time period of our lives, nicknamed the “Age of Wisdom.” Oral surgery is recommended to remove wisdom teeth when they impact and harm neighboring teeth because of insufficient space in the dental arch. If there is not enough room in the mouth for wisdom teeth to properly erupt and grow because of overlying gum tissue, bone, or other teeth, the health of the entire mouth is affected.
