Wisdom teeth can cause a variety of issues if not managed properly. One of the biggest problems is space. If there is not enough room for the teeth to grow, they can become impacted or overcrowd other adjacent teeth, leading to pain or discomfort. In this case, wisdom teeth often need to be removed by an oral surgeon to prevent further problems down the line like infection or damage to neighbouring teeth. In some cases, removing the wisdom teeth is recommended even if they aren’t causing any immediate issues. This is because leaving them in can lead to overcrowding of other teeth, which could lead to misalignments or dental decay over time. It’s worth noting however that everyone develops differently, so it’s impossible to know exactly when you’ll get your wisdom teeth or how troublesome they will be without consulting a doctor who can assess your unique situation. Even though removing your wisdom teeth can sound scary, it is usually a relatively straightforward process with minimal downtime – so don’t let fear stop you from speaking with your dentist about any potential issues with your wisdom teeth.
