What Are Wisdom Teeth and Where Are They Located?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars, typically erupting between the ages of 18 and 25, although they can emerge later or not at all. They grow in both the upper and lower jaws, with most people having four. The main cause of problems with wisdom teeth is the lack of space for growth. Most people’s jaws simply don’t have enough room for all 32 teeth. Since wisdom teeth often do not have enough space to emerge straight and properly, they grow in crooked or partially. Crooked teeth can damage the enamel of surrounding teeth, and due to their misalignment, it is difficult to clean between them properly. Partially erupted wisdom teeth may be partially covered by gum tissue, under which bacteria can accumulate.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

First of all, we advise not to delay. It is easiest to remove a tooth when its roots are not fully formed. Once wisdom teeth are fully developed, the procedure becomes more complex, and recovery time after surgery is longer. If the teeth pose a threat to neighboring teeth or cause inflammation due to their improper position, they should be removed.

How to Care After Tooth Extraction?

For 3-4 hours after tooth extraction, avoid eating. Later that day, avoid hot food and drinks. Do not touch the wound with your fingers or tongue. Avoid physical exertion.
