Avoid Problems With Early Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Crowding, impaction, and other common issues associated with wisdom teeth can lead to numerous problems. If they cause nearby teeth to move, they may create problems with your bite. If they don’t emerge completely or come in at an awkward angle, they’ll make you more susceptible to gum disease and tooth decay. Plus, they often cause discomfort.
In general, we recommend removing wisdom teeth before the age of 25 because:
- With less established roots, teeth are easier and more comfortable to remove
- Recovery is typically quicker for younger patients
- With more room in the back of your jaw, it’s easier to keep your other teeth clean and in good shape

Common Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal
Who should get wisdom teeth removal?
We generally recommend extracting wisdom teeth if they are coming in at a bad or crooked angle, if they don’t emerge entirely through the gums, or if there isn’t sufficient room for them to emerge without crowding other teeth. Because many people’s wisdom teeth come in by their late teens or early 20s, this is typically the ideal time to have them removed, if needed.
Can wisdom teeth removal affect other teeth?
Yes! Removing wisdom teeth prevents crowding, which can lead nearby teeth to move out of their proper positions. Wisdom teeth extraction normally also makes it much easier to brush and floss the teeth in the back of your mouth. This makes you less susceptible to tooth infection, cavities, and gum disease.
What is recovery like after wisdom teeth removal?
You may experience tenderness and swelling for several days. You’ll want to relax and avoid any type of strenuous physical exertion. We’ll offer you complete directions on diet, dental hygiene, and other facets of healing. Gargling with warm salt water will ease discomfort and help keep your mouth clean. Complete recovery takes two weeks or so.
