The perils of Wisdom teeth
One of the most common procedures that we carry out at Zental is the removal of problem wisdom teeth. This has given hundreds of our patients a huge amount of relief from pain and fortunately for sufferers, it is a procedure we routinely carry out.
Otherwise referred to as third molars, wisdom teeth appear in the mouth much later than the other teeth usually between the ages of 18-24, supposedly at an age where people should be much “wiser” than when their other teeth arrived as a child.
The four grinding teeth furthest to the back of our mouths - wisdom teeth usually grow through the gums during the late teens or early twenties. By this time, the other 28 adult teeth are usually in position, so sometimes there is insufficient space left for the wisdom teeth to grow properly - these teeth become impacted.
Some people never experience any problems with their wisdom teeth, but unfortunately for others they can cause gum disease, tooth decay, pain and infection. It is a relief to know that most problems with wisdom teeth usually go away as soon as they are removed, but the waiting list for treatment on the NHS is very long. The costs of tooth extraction can also be an important factor to consider when deciding on treatment.
