Common Wisdom Tooth Problems Explained
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, generally appear between the ages of 17 and 25, often in jaws with limited space. This can lead to complications such as:
- Impaction - When a tooth fails to fully emerge through the gums
- Crowding - When incoming wisdom teeth exert force on existing teeth, affecting alignment
- Partial Eruption - Leads to hard-to-clean areas where bacteria can accumulate
- Cyst Formation - Occasionally, fluid-filled cysts can form around an impacted tooth
- Recurring Infections - Partially erupted wisdom teeth are prone to repeated infection
Some individuals choose preventive extraction to avoid these complications, while others pursue treatment after symptoms such as discomfort, swelling, or jaw pressure have already developed.
