Understanding Common Wisdom Tooth Complications
Third molars typically develop between ages 17 and 25, frequently in mouths with insufficient space. This space limitation often results in issues such as:
- Impaction - When wisdom teeth cannot fully emerge through the gumline
- Crowding - When developing wisdom teeth push against existing teeth, disrupting alignment
- Partial Eruption - Creates difficult-to-clean areas where harmful bacteria collect
- Cyst Formation - In some cases, fluid-filled sacs form around impacted wisdom teeth
- Persistent Infections - Partially emerged wisdom teeth frequently develop recurring infections
Many patients opt for preventative removal to avoid these potential problems, while others seek treatment after experiencing symptoms like pain, inflammation, or jaw discomfort.
