Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25, but their timing can vary greatly from person to person. Some individuals may have their wisdom teeth come in earlier, while others may not experience any eruption until their late twenties. For some, wisdom teeth never erupt, remaining impacted beneath the gums.
Signs of Wisdom Teeth Eruption
As wisdom teeth begin to erupt, You may experience several symptoms, including:
- Pain or discomfort at the back of the jaw
- Swelling of the gums around the affected area
- Redness or tenderness in the gums
- Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing
- Occasional bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth due to infection
In some cases, the wisdom teeth may erupt without causing significant discomfort, while in others, they may remain impacted, leading to further complications.
When is Wisdom Teeth Removal Important?
Wisdom teeth removal becomes necessary when they are impacted or cause other dental issues. Common reasons for removal include:
- Impaction: When wisdom teeth fail to erupt properly, they can become trapped under the gum line, pushing against adjacent teeth. This can lead to pain, infection, and misalignment of other teeth.
- Infection or Gum Disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean creating pockets of bacteria, leading to decay and gum infections.
- Crowding: Wisdom teeth can crowd other teeth,affecting your smile and disrupting previously completed orthodontic work.
- Cysts or Tumors: Impacted wisdom teeth can form cysts, which can damage surrounding bone or teeth.
Consequences of Leaving an Impacted Wisdom Tooth Inside
Leaving an impacted wisdom tooth untreated can lead to several complications, including severe pain, swelling, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Additionally, the longer an impacted tooth remains in the mouth, the higher the risk of developing cysts or tumors around the tooth, which may require more extensive surgery to correct.
