Pros and cons of the removal of wisdom teeth Why do dentists often advise their patients to remove them? Before making an appointment for a Houston Wisdom Teeth extraction, be sure you understand all the pros and cons of wisdom teeth removal.
What are your wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth are the last teeth that emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25 years. Since a young adult is more cunning than a child, these molars on the extreme left and right of their upper and lower jaws are known as "wisdom teeth." Affected wisdom teeth The reason why dentists so often recommend the Houston Wisdom Teeth Extraction is that, more often than not, they do not come in a straight line. About 44 percent of the time the wisdom teeth are angled forward. Called mesioangular impaction, this malformation points the tooth towards the front of the mouth. About 38 percent of the time, the wisdom tooth never comes completely through the gum line. This malformation is known as vertical impaction. In relatively rare cases, approximately 6 percent of the time, the wisdom tooth is tilted back toward the back of the mouth. This phenomenon is known as distoangular impaction. It is also possible for a wisdom tooth to go sideways. This phenomenon, known as horizontal impaction, occurs in about 3 percent of wisdom teeth that are growing at a 90 degree angle to neighbouring teeth, growing their roots in the neighbouring molar. A significant minority of people, however, have wisdom teeth that come in a straight line. Easier extractions and harder extractions of wisdom teeth
