WISDOM TEETH and what to do about themWisdom teeth (also called "third molars") usually do not push through the gum,s until people are in their late teen, twenties or even older. Wisdom teeth are usually the last teeth to come through the gums. Most people have four wisdom teeth. Some people have no wisdom teeth. Often there is little space at the rear of the jaws for wisodm teeth to come easily through the gums. If the jaw does not have enough room for the wisdom teeth to come through, the tooth will become wedged in or "impacted". Some impacted wisdom teeth remain buried and cause no trouble. However, other impacted wisdom teeth may cause severe problems. Often one or more wisdom teeth will cause problems and must be removed. If one or more of your wisdom teeth causes problems, your dentist may recommend that it be removed. Removal of a wisdom teeth is a very common procedure. Removal of troublesome wisdom teeth shpuld usually be done as soon as possible befor ethe problems get worse. If your wisdom teeth are likely to be difficult or complicated to remove, your dentist may refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Due to the shape and position of some wisdom teeth and the shape of the jaws, it may be preferable in such cases for an oral surgeon to remove the teeth.
