What are wisdom teeth, and why do they sometimes need to be removed?

The final molars that typically emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood, in some cases, these teeth can cause a range of issues related to overcrowding, impaction, and more. And while some patients will have these teeth develop without issue, it’s advised that you undergo a thorough examination to determine your risk for short- and long-term problems to prevent damage to your oral health and smile.

What are the benefits of wisdom teeth removal?

Along with making your remaining teeth easier to clean, removing these teeth reduces your risk for misalignment issues, overcrowding, and infection and pain that can be caused by impaction.

How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

While recovery varies from patient to patient, it typically takes 3-7 days, depending on your age and overall health condition. It’s important to rest, avoid strenuous activities, eat soft foods, and gently care for your teeth in the days following wisdom teeth removal.
