Wisdom teeth usually appear between ages 18 and 25. As they come into your mouth they can cause pain, swelling, infections or crowding, especially if there isn’t enough space in the mouth 🦷
It is not uncommon to experience infection, pain, gum disease or tooth decay related to a wisdom tooth which is unable to erupt properly or fully.
You may be tempted to wait it out hoping that pain will subside however this often leads to further complications. A dentist can check your wisdom teeth are developing well and spot issues before they turn into infections or emergencies ⛔️
Dental health week is about helping you understand the symptoms, timing and risks associated with untreated wisdom teeth problems
