What Are the Wisdom Teeth?
The wisdom teeth are actually a third set of molars. Tooth loss was extremely common thousands of years ago, and it’s believed they were essentially supposed to be replacement teeth. As humans advanced and food became softer and more edible, the jaw actually shrank, so now most people don’t have enough room in their mouth for these teeth, which is why they are removed so often.
Do My Wisdom Teeth Need to be Extracted?
Rarely, the wisdom teeth are able to come in without issue, but if any of the below symptoms sound familiar, then an extraction is likely necessary, otherwise, they could become much worse:
- Constant pain towards the back of the mouth
- Pressure felt on the back teeth
- Changes in how the bite comes together
- A flap in the gums that traps food
- Oral pain and fever, which could point to an infection
