Eruption of wisdom teeth can be problematic because of their location and the lack of space. They usually appear at the age of 16-17. They can cause an infection of the gums that cover them, cavities, resorption of the adjacent tooth or the formation of a cyst.
Depending on the panoramic radiograph and the clinical examination, your dentist will be able to guide you in the relevance of the extraction as a preventive, or as a curative measure when they cause problems.
