When and Why You Should Remove Your Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth do not erupt properly due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to impaction. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection, bad breath, and even damage to neighboring teeth if left untreated. In some cases, they may partially erupt, creating pockets where bacteria accumulate, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

At Dr. Anuradha’s Multispecialty Dental Clinic, we recommend timely evaluation and removal of problematic wisdom teeth to prevent future complications. The procedure is safe, performed under local anesthesia, and ensures long-term relief. With advanced surgical techniques and strict sterilization, extractions are done with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Even if your wisdom teeth are not painful, regular check-ups and X-rays help monitor their growth and position. Early intervention often means easier extractions and fewer post-treatment issues. Protect your smile and oral health by consulting a specialist—removing impacted wisdom teeth at the right time saves you from bigger dental problems later.
