Wisdom teeth get their name because they are the last teeth to come in, at about the time of young adulthood - the age when a person gains maturity and wisdom. Most of our permanent (adult) teeth come in by age 13. A few years later, between ages 17-21, our wisdom teeth usually push their way through the gums.

When wisdom teeth come in that are healthy and properly positioned, they can be helpful. Sometimes wisdom teeth do not have enough room to come in normally, or they are in the wrong position. These wisdom teeth are called 'impacted'' and may have to be removed.

Regular dental visits allow your dentist to track the progress and condition of your teeth. After doing an oral exam and taking X-rays, your dentist can evaluate your wisdom teeth and discuss whether or not they should be removed.

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are far back in the mouth. They often are not needed for chewing and are difficult to brush and floss. Your dentist may recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth in your late teens, because waiting until you are older can increase the risk of problems.

A general dentist can perform wisdom tooth extractions. However, if your dentist sees a need for any special care, you may be referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This is a dentist who specializes in surgery of the hard and soft tissues of the mouth, including the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. If your general dentist refers you to a specialist, the two will work together to provide you with the best and most efficient care.

If your wisdom teeth are impacted, early removal can save you trouble and pain later in life. Not everyone's teeth develop on the same schedule. See your dentist regularly so he or she can monitor the progress of your wisdom teeth.
