Why Do Wisdom Teeth Have to Be Removed? A Decision Guide for Patients
Learn why wisdom teeth may need removal, when monitoring may be reasonable, and what warning signs should prompt a dental assessment in Australia.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the very back of the mouth. They usually appear from the late teenage years into the twenties, although timing varies. Some come through normally and can be cleaned like other molars. Others only partly erupt, sit at an angle, or remain trapped under gum or bone.
