What Is The Best Age For Removing Your Wisdom Teeth?

Usually, the removal of the wisdom teeth conjures into one’s mind cartoonish images of teeth pulled out by a string attached to a door. However, in reality, the procedure is much more complex and requires professionals in a Colorado sedation dentistry office to accomplish the procedure.
And the most important question is: is extraction really necessary at all? A survey has found that the removal of wisdom teeth is the most common surgical practice in the United Kingdom. Some dentists even suggest this extraction. However, removal of wisdom teeth is only necessary when they cause pain or are decaying.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars all the way back in the mouth. They grow from the gums and usually align properly with the other teeth. In this case, there is no reason to remove them. But sometimes they do not have enough room to grow and cause pain, infection to the nearby teeth and the impossibility to properly clean them. And this leads to tooth decay and damage to the surrounding teeth.
The answer for the question is: only when it is necessary. Perfectly healthy wisdom teeth, fully sprouted and that can be cleaned properly need no removal. If in doubt, the best option is to consult a dentist.
