What Are Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the back of the mouth. They usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, although this varies.

Impacted or poorly positioned wisdom teeth may increase the risk of discomfort, infection, and damage to nearby teeth.

What are wisdom teeth

Due to limited space, wisdom teeth may:

Erupt normally
Partially emerge
Become impacted (unable to fully come through)

Common Wisdom Teeth Issues

Pain or discomfort at the back of the mouth
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Infection around partially erupted teeth
Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening the mouth
Food trapping and difficulty cleaning

Symptoms can vary and may come and go.

When to Seek Care

You may benefit from an assessment if you experience:

Persistent or recurring pain
Swelling, redness, or signs of infection
Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
Concerns raised during a routine check-up

Early assessment can help guide appropriate management.

Removal may be recommended if:

Not all wisdom teeth require removal. This depends on your symptoms and how the tooth is positioned.

Pain or repeated infections
Impacted or poorly positioned teeth
Difficult to clean, increasing risk of decay
Affecting neighbouring teeth

Monitoring may be suitable if:

No pain or infection
Fully erupted
Easy to keep clean

A clinical assessment and, where required, imaging will help determine the most appropriate option.

Risks & Considerations

Not all wisdom teeth require removal
Symptoms may vary between patients
Delaying treatment in some cases may increase risk of complications
Temporary discomfort may occur with treatment

Your dentist will discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives before proceeding.
