What Are Wisdom Teeth, and Why Are They Removed?

Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually emerge between the ages of 17–25. In many cases, they can:

• Erupt at the wrong angle
• Become impacted (stuck under gums or bone)
• Cause crowding or shifting in other teeth
• Lead to infection, gum pain, or jaw stiffness

Removing problematic wisdom teeth early helps prevent complications and protects your overall oral health.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

• Jaw pain or stiffness
• Swollen or tender gums behind molars
• Headaches or pressure in the back of the mouth
• Food getting trapped behind back teeth
• Infections, cysts, or recurring bad breath
• Orthodontic relapse (crowding or shifting teeth)

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an exam today with Dr. Mozner to see if wisdom teeth extraction is right for you.
