Wisdom Tooth Extraction Etobicoke
What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last set of teeth to grow at the back of your mouth. They usually come in between 17 and 25 years old. Sometimes, they can't come in properly because there isn't enough space, causing problems like pain and infection.
When is the best time to remove wisdom teeth?
If X-rays show there's not enough room for your wisdom teeth to come in without causing problems, your dentist might suggest removing them. The timing depends on each person's situation. Some people only know they have a problem when they feel pain or swelling in their gums.
Do all wisdom teeth have to be removed?
Not always. It depends on your dental health. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, come in properly, and don't cause any issues, you might not need to remove them.
