Wisdom teeth — also known as third molars — are the last set of teeth to develop, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues when their wisdom teeth come in, many experience discomfort, crowding, or infection due to a lack of space in the jaw.
At Pure Arts Dental Care, we provide gentle, precise wisdom teeth evaluations and extractions to relieve pain, prevent complications, and protect your long-term oral health.
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need to Be Removed
Unlike other teeth, wisdom teeth frequently do not have enough room to fully erupt. When this happens, they can become impacted — meaning they are trapped
Common reasons for extraction include:
- Pain or jaw discomfort
- Swelling or gum irritation
- Repeated infections
- Damage to neighboring teeth
- Crowding or shifting teeth
- Cyst formation
- Tooth decay in hard-to-clean areas
Even if wisdom teeth are not currently causing symptoms, your dentist may recommend preventive removal to avoid future complications.
