Wisdom Teeth
By your middle teens, your jawbones have nearly reached their adult size. The last four teeth to erupt, known as the wisdom teeth, rarely have enough room to properly erupt. The size of your jaw and how your wisdom teeth grow in can determine whether wisdom teeth will cause your mouth any harm. You may experience symptoms such as pain and swelling or no symptoms at all, but the other teeth in your mouth and the jaws themselves could be at risk for damage.
Studies have shown that early evaluation and removal of wisdom teeth produces superior results when compared with removal later in life. Most dental and medical plans cover all or much of the cost of wisdom teeth removal. Please call during normal business hours to schedule a consultation with a member of our surgical treatment team.
