What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that develop at the very back of your mouth, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, there is simply not enough room in the jaw for them to grow properly, leading them to become trapped beneath the gum or bone (impacted).
When Is the Best Time to Remove Them?
Our dentists may recommend removing wisdom teeth early if they grow at an angle or push against nearby teeth. Removing them before the root systems fully mature often makes the procedure simpler and smoother.
X-Ray Monitoring & Planning
Using digital diagnostics, our team can see exactly how your third molars are developing underneath the surface, allowing us to preemptively prevent pain, infection, and crowding.
Good to Know
Not everyone develops all four wisdom teeth; some individuals only develop one, two, or none at all. Regular checkups help us monitor your unique mouth structure.
Do All Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not all third molars require extraction. It depends entirely on the spatial arrangement, health, and position of each tooth. Wisdom teeth may safely remain in place if they are:
Completely Healthy
The tooth structure remains entirely free of hidden decay, active bacterial infection, or localized gum disease.
Fully Erupted
The molar has successfully managed to grow in completely and cleanly above your natural gum line.
Properly Positioned
The tooth lines up correctly with your bite structure and does not crowd or exert force on nearby healthy teeth.
Easy to Clean Cleanly
You can easily reach, brush, and floss around the tooth properly during your normal daily oral hygiene routine.
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth can trigger an array of acute symptoms that affect both your daily comfort level and your long-term alignment.
Physical Comfort
Pain & Discomfort Signs
- Severe pain in the jaw or side of the face when eating
- Swelling or localized redness in the gums near the rear molars
- Difficulty opening the mouth fully or restricted jaw movement
- Frequent, radiating headaches or localized earaches
- Increased enamel sensitivity to hot or cold foods
Clinical Signs
Oral Health Concerns
- Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste when chewing
- Numbness or strange tingling sensations along the lower jawline
- Crowding, shifting, or overlapping of your straight front teeth
- Cysts or fluid-filled sacs forming within the jaw bone tissue
- Inability to find a comfortable, consistent biting position
Important Note: If you notice any of these indicators, an evaluation at our Thornhill clinic can determine whether treatment is necessary.
