Removing wisdom teeth should be done between the ages of 16-20 to prevent them the chance of growing a full root. The root is still forming during these stages of life which means it may be wise to have them removed as a precaution now for easier and quicker removal and healing.
Don’t fall for the trap that they are like the appendix of the mouth, “there, but not necessary”. When your wisdom teeth have a full-grown root it opens your mouth up for issues with other teeth, such as crowding. Our practice has alleviated countless mouths experiencing such complications from full-grown wisdom teeth.
If you’re over 20 years old and your wisdom teeth are bothersome and causing complications, it’s not too late to have them removed. It is our practice’s goal to offer patient care and painless dentistry to everyone who chooses Hebert Family Dentistry.
