Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are the last set of teeth to grow in. Many times, wisdom teeth do not have enough space in the mouth to grow in properly.
Premolars, also known as bicuspids, are permanent teeth between the molars and the canine teeth. Kids typically get their premolars between the ages of 10-12.
If there is adequate space in the mouth and the teeth can grow in correctly, they may not need to be removed. However, impacted teeth may increase your risk of infection, decay to neighboring teeth, bone damage, or crowded and misaligned teeth. These teeth may also need to be removed in order to start or complete orthodontic treatment.
