The growth of the wisdom teeth is an important part of the development of the mouth. Our third and final set of molars typically arrives during the later teen years into college. It is crucial at this time to set strict appointments for imagery so that your oral health provider has all the tools at their disposal. With proper x-rays, the location and speed of the growth of these new teeth can be identified.
If you are around this age, or if you are the parent of a teen, make the effort when it comes to your wisdom teeth. Improper development of these new structures can lead to serious concerns with alignment, when they push your teeth to the front of the mouth. This can create an unattractive smile that is hard to clean and may require an additional procedure to correct. In addition, the final set of molars may cause further issues with the jaw or inflict damage on the enamel.
