Wisdom teeth removal means having one or more of the third molars (your wisdom teeth) at the back of your mouth taken out. This can sometimes involve a surgical procedure.<\/p>

Your wisdom teeth are the last four of the large grinding teeth (molars) at the back of your mouth to come through. You\u2019re likely to have them by the time you reach your mid-twenties, though some people find they come through earlier or later than this.<\/p>

Sometimes, your wisdom teeth don\u2019t come through properly, meaning they\u2019re impacted. This can cause problems such as pain, swelling and infection. Having your wisdom teeth taken out can ease these symptoms.<\/p>

Why would I need to have my wisdom teeth removed?<\/b><\/h3>

Wisdom teeth don\u2019t always need to be removed. For many people, they come through normally and don\u2019t cause any problems. However, as your wisdom teeth are your last teeth to come through, there\u2019s often not enough space in your mouth for them to grow properly.<\/p>

They can get partially stuck in your gums or grow at an angle. This is called an impacted wisdom tooth. Even impacted wisdom teeth don\u2019t always need to be taken out if they aren\u2019t causing any symptoms.<\/p>

Sometimes though, the way an impacted wisdom tooth is positioned can make it easy for food and bacteria to get trapped around the gum. This can lead to swollen and sore gums (pericoronitis), tooth decay and infection. If you\u2019re having problems such as these, your dentist may recommend taking the impacted tooth out.<\/p>

Having your wisdom teeth removed is one of the most common procedures done in the UK. It\u2019s usually done in your late teens or twenties, when your wisdom teeth come through.<\/p>
