Why Wisdom Tooth Removal Matters
- Prevalence: 85% of people have impacted wisdom teeth, and nearly half of the remaining 15% develop decay due to difficulty maintaining oral hygiene
- Complications: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infections, cysts, tumors, and periodontal issues that may affect adjacent teeth.
Ideal Timing for Removal
The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) recommend extraction between ages 14 to 20. We would suggest the best time to remove wisdom teeth is when the roots of the mandibular molars are short, ideally 1/2 to 3/4 developed so the crown is close to the surface and the roots are less likely to fracture like an icicle or damage the inferior alveolar nerve.
- Screening should occur after jaw growth is complete but before root development impacts the maxillary sinus or inferior alveolar nerve
- Younger patients experience faster healing and few complications!
