If you’ve ever wondered why wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure in cosmetic dentistry, look no further. We at Miami Designer Smiles understand the importance of this procedure and provide it as one of our many services.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth and Their Role in Dentistry
Wisdom teeth, medically referred to as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in your mouth. This generally occurs between the ages of 17 and 25 — a time of life that has been dubbed the “age of wisdom,” hence their name.
Why Do We Have Wisdom Teeth?
From an evolutionary perspective, our ancestors found use for these extra molars due to their hard and granular diet. However, in our modern society, with its softer and more processed diet, we no longer require these teeth for efficient chewing. In fact, they often do more harm than good.
The Case for Wisdom Teeth Removal
Many people’s mouths are simply too small to properly house wisdom teeth. This can result in these teeth erupting or growing sideways, becoming trapped beneath the gum (impacted), or causing a host of other problems.
Problems Caused by Wisdom Teeth
Having impacted wisdom teeth can cause several dental issues:
- Pain and discomfort
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Gum disease and tooth decay
- Development of cysts around the wisdom teeth
Considering these potential problems, wisdom teeth removal becomes an essential course of action in cosmetic dentistry.
