Wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, usually begin to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Unfortunately, wisdom teeth are notorious for causing issues with overcrowding, bite alignment, and infection. In many cases, we recommend that patients get their wisdom teeth removed prior to eruption in order to avoid future problems. At Smiles Dental, our expert team will keep a close eye on your child’s wisdom teeth using dental X-rays and visual examinations.
