In last place

Your wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last permanent teeth to erupt. Wisdom teeth are useful when properly aligned. If misaligned, wisdom teeth can crowd and damage adjacent teeth.

The point of impact

If you experience any of the following symptoms, your wisdom teeth could be impacted (partially erupted) and may need to be removed:

   -Red or tender gums
   -Jaw pain or swelling
   -Prolonged headaches

When to extract

Wisdom teeth extractions can be successfully performed at any age. However, you should see a dentist or oral surgeon for a complete evaluation.
