As if early adulthood wasn’t already a tricky enough time: Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually erupt when a person is between 17 and 24 years old.
Impacted wisdom teeth occur when one or more of your third molars have no room to enter the arch, are misaligned, or are growing at an angle that keeps them from fully erupting.
Learn how wisdom teeth can cause problems even from within – and why prehistoric humans are to blame for it all.
You might think that while they're hidden under the surface of your gums, wisdom teeth are safe from disease and can do little harm. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Third molars can get cavities, abscesses, gum disease, cysts and can damage adjacent teeth when they are impacted. As a preventative measure, many people have their wisdom teeth removed before these problems arise.
Although fewer dentists are recommending extraction in all cases, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons recommends that wisdom teeth in all young adults be evaluated for extraction or ongoing care.
Evolution holds the answer:
Even though wisdom teeth do not always require extraction, they can still be vulnerable to tooth decay. So check with your dentist frequently to ensure they remain free of disease and decay.
