What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. For many patients, these teeth don’t have enough space to grow properly, leading to pain, swelling, infections, or damage to neighboring teeth. At Aponte Dental in Miami, we provide safe, comfortable, and precise wisdom tooth extractions.
When Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not all wisdom teeth require extraction, but removal is often recommended when:
- They are impacted or growing at an angle
- There is not enough space in the jaw
- They cause pain, swelling, or infection
- They damage adjacent teeth or bone
- They affect bite alignment or orthodontic treatments
