While scientists believe that these teeth were historically essential for the coarse diets that our ancestors consumed, these days, they tend to cause more problems than they solve. This is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteoralsurgeryassociates.com\/wisdom-tooth-extractions.html\">wisdom tooth extractions<\/a> are among the most common of all dental procedures, capable of even being performed during a patient\u2019s youth. But what about older patients; can they have their wisdom teeth removed without issue, or does age present any hurdles that must be overcome? Continue reading below to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Wisdom Teeth Usually Need to Be Removed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth mentioning that not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed; there are those fortunate few who have a fully developed jaw early on in life, and if there\u2019s enough space for the teeth, your dentist may want to simply leave them alone. Research indicates that there are no proven health benefits to pulling wisdom teeth that aren\u2019t causing problems\u2014so if you still have yours and they aren\u2019t causing you any grief, thank your lucky stars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, wisdom teeth may cause uncomfortable and undesirable issues later in life. Their location makes it virtually impossible for them to be brushed and flossed properly, meaning they\u2019re at a much greater risk of decay and gum infections. It\u2019s also possible for wisdom teeth to become impacted, which means the tooth in question is unable to correctly erupt through the gumline. They can also cause other teeth to shift out of place, causing unfavorable dental alignment and potentially damaging other teeth or oral structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Can Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no \u201cset\u201d age for when wisdom teeth must be removed\u2014every smile is different, meaning that every patient\u2019s dental circumstances vary. Generally speaking, it\u2019s easier to remove them when a patient is younger since their roots aren\u2019t as deeply embedded, which is why many patients have theirs removed during their teenage years or early 20s. However, they can still be removed at any point during a patient\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though it is possible to have your wisdom teeth removed at an older age, oral surgery can sometimes be more challenging for adults over the age of 50. This is due to the fact that jawbone density tends to decrease with age, coupled with longer expected recovery times and a greater risk of post-operative issues like bleeding or infection. However, these complications can be limited by keeping up with oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly, among other good and sensible habits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect you might need your wisdom teeth removed, your first step is to visit your dentist for an examination. If you\u2019re noticing issues such as persistent pain and irritation in the back of your mouth, jaw stiffness, swollen or bleeding gums, or other signs of oral infection, it might be a sign that your wisdom teeth need to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Elite Oral Surgery Associates, our team proudly serves the dental needs of families in Worcester and the surrounding areas.
