    Reasons To Remove Your Wisdom Teeth


  • Wisdom teeth almost always cause some problems for the patient throughout life, and often times these problems are severe, painful, and/or dangerous
  • Wisdom teeth get more caries and gum disease than other teeth due to inadequate hygiene which leads to the dental infection which will most likely affect the adjacent 2nd molar. Furthermore, periodonntal disease or gum infection will cause cardiovascular disease and possibly diabetes, etc
  • Impacted wisdom teeth typically will cause pain and infections due to food traps that form around them
  • Wisdom teeth are thought to continually push the molars forward causing crowding of the front teeth. Most orthodontists agree that the removal of wisdom teeth can avoid unwanted anterior crowding
  • Even without immediate discomfort, proactive removal is recommended to prevent potential issues later in life.


    Benefits of having the Wisdom Teeth Removed in younger patients


  • Young patients are healthier and they heal faster
  • The bone surrunding the wisfom teeth is more flexible on Young patients which makes the surgery less complicated. Elderly patients are much more prone to complications associated with wisdom tooth removal including jaw fracture
  • In elderly patients, the palatal shelf of alveolar bone thins to be replaced by a fat pad. This also makes wisdom tooth removal much more complicated and riskier during advanced age. Thus, our doctors usually recommend that people remove their wisdom teeth while they are still young and healthy
