When Wisdom Teeth Become a Problem
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, many wisdom teeth become impacted or grow at an angle due to limited space in the jaw.
This can lead to a range of dental problems, including:
- Persistent jaw pain
- Swollen or tender gums
- Difficulty opening the mouth
- Food getting trapped around the wisdom tooth
- Tooth decay in nearby teeth
- Gum infections
- Headaches and facial discomfort
Ignoring these symptoms can allow the problem to worsen over time. Early assessment and treatment can often prevent more complex dental issues later.
