Wisdom teeth appear usually between the ages of 17 and 22 years. These teeth appear at the back of the mouth, at the top and the bottom. Normally, they grow without any problem, but in some cases they have to be extracted due to various reasons.
What are the Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal?
• Your jaw might not be large enough to hold an extra set of molars. In this case, wisdom teeth cause existing teeth to become crooked.
• At times, wisdom teeth do not grow in the right direction. Crooked teeth are also hard to clean, which puts you at risk of tooth decay. Our dentist in El Monte prescribes removal in case of crooked teeth.
• Wisdom teeth can pose a threat to neighboring teeth.
• Impacted wisdom teeth that do not come out of the gums totally. Cysts might grow around the base of the impacted teeth, hollowing out the jaw and damaging nerves and teeth.
What should you Do?
Wisdom teeth growing the wrong way lead to jaw stiffness, discomfort, pain and tooth decay. You need the services of our expert in wisdom teeth removal in El Monte to correct the situation.
