Wisdom Teeth Extractions Near You in SE Calgary
Are you searching for wisdom teeth extractions near you? Wisdom teeth or the third molars are the last teeth to develop. They are positioned in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Usually, the wisdom teeth appear between the middle teenage years and early twenties.
While most people develop and grow 32 permanent adult teeth, in many cases patients jaws are too small to accommodate four wisdom teeth. When insufficient space prevents the teeth from erupting, they are called impacted– an inability to grow into the proper position for chewing and cleaning.
When wisdom teeth are impacted, it can cause structural damage to the jaw and other teeth. Additionally, they can provide a place for bacteria to gather as they are difficult to reach and clean. These potential problems make it necessary to extract impacted wisdom teeth to prevent more complicated issues from arising.
