Wisdom Teeth Removal in Fort Lauderdale

Why Wisdom Teeth Removal Is Important

Most people will eventually have problems with one or more wisdom teeth, which often leads to the need for wisdom teeth removal. Common signs and symptoms that may indicate you need tooth removal include:

• Jaw pain or swelling

• Gum tenderness or bleeding

• Bad breath or an unpleasant taste

• Difficulty opening your mouth fully

Even if you aren’t experiencing obvious symptoms, impacted wisdom teeth can silently damage nearby teeth and bone if left untreated.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of the mouth. They typically erupt between ages 17–25.

When wisdom teeth don’t come in properly, they may become impacted (trapped beneath the gums or bone). Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to:

• Infections and gum inflammation

• Damage to neighboring teeth

• Shifting or crowding of your smile

• Development of cysts or tumors that affect the jawbone
