Wisdom Teeth
They say as we grow older we come wiser, unfortunately sometimes growing wisdom comes with a price.
Wisdom teeth tend to erupt from the ages of about 17-24 years of age. A large proportion of people don’t have enough space in their jaw bone for their wisdom teeth to erupt correctly. As a result they may cause pain, swelling, infection and damage to adjacent teeth.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
- Dental pain
- Gum infections and swelling
- Food trapping
- Damaging the neighbouring teeth
- Cavities in your teeth
- Insufficient space
- Cyst forming around the wisdom tooth
