Dental Surgery

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located towards the back of the mouth. They normally erupt between the ages of 17 to 25 years and are detected with a dental xray.

Most people have them removed for one of these reasons.

They´re impacted: because they´re so far back in your mouth, wisdom teeth may not come in normally. They can be trapped in your jawbone or gums which can be painful.

They are coming out at a wrong angle and so putting pressure on other teeth.

There is no space in the jaw for an extra set of molars.

You have cavities or gum disease. You may not be able to reach your wisdom teeth with your toothbrush or dental floss.
