Wisdom teeth usually erupt anytime from the age of 17 to 25. Most people, therefore, have the extraction before graduating high school. If you visit your dentist regularly – every six to 12 months – you will learn when it is time for a removal procedure. It is not a good idea to wait longer, since it can lead to more complications.
Teeth roots continue to grow with the increasing risk of coming in contact with a nerve. Waiting too long increases the possibility of nerve damage after the extraction.
