Why Wisdom Teeth Often Cause Problems
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to appear, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems because there is not enough room in the mouth for these teeth to grow properly.
When wisdom teeth become impacted or grow at the wrong angle, they can cause:
- Pain and discomfort
- Swollen or tender gums
- Jaw stiffness
- Difficulty chewing
- Infection around the tooth
- Damage to nearby teeth
- Tooth decay and gum disease
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious dental issues over time. Early assessment and treatment can help prevent complications and protect your smile.
