Most people don’t have room for a third set of molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. The wisdom teeth typically aren’t helpful to bite and chew your food, because they are so far back in your mouth, Wisdom teeth are often not aligned properly to function well.
The best time to have them removed is during the ages of 17 to 25, however, older adults can have them removed if necessary.
You may need a wisdom tooth extraction if you:
- Feel pain and pressure far back in your mouth or jaws
- Feel pain and pressure when you open and close your mouth
- Experience stiffness in your jaw
- Experience difficulty opening your mouth wide
Wisdom teeth should also be removed if:
- You can’t keep them clean
- You have decay in one or more wisdom teeth
