If you are in your late teens or early 20s and have never had your wisdom teeth evaluated, now might be the perfect time to make your appointment. And if you have wisdom teeth that are causing you pain or other problems, it is advisable to schedule an appointment to have them removed sooner rather than later.
Wisdom teeth removal is an extremely common and safe procedure, and one that can potentially save you from more serious problems down the road. We are pleased to provide wisdom teeth removal for patients throughout the Chesterton, IN area.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Over the course of a lifetime, most people develop 32 permanent, adult teeth. The last teeth to emerge are typically the wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. Most often, these teeth emerge between ages 17 and 21. However, some patients get their wisdom teeth much earlier, sometimes as early as age 11.
The problem with wisdom teeth is that the jawbone is often too small to accommodate them. Because of this, the wisdom teeth can remain impacted, which means they stay partially or completely covered in bone and gum tissue.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause a host of problems, and the best solution is to have them removed before these problems even begin. Having your wisdom teeth removed earlier in life usually means an easier procedure, a smoother recovery, and a lower risk of oral health complications.
