Wisdom teeth can cause problems before they cause obvious pain.
Because wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, many people do not have enough room for all four to erupt properly. They can press against nearby molars, become partially trapped under the gums, collect bacteria, or create swelling and irritation near the back of the mouth.
Age matters, too. Teens and young adults often recover in days after wisdom tooth removal, while older adults may need multiple weeks for swelling, soreness, and full healing to settle. That is one reason early evaluation can make such a difference.
If your teen or young adult has not had their wisdom teeth checked, City Creek Dental in Temple, TX can evaluate them and explain whether wisdom tooth removal may be recommended.
