Wisdom Teeth: A Rite of Passage or a Real Pain?

Jul 26

What Exactly Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically appear between ages 17 to 25, sometimes silently, sometimes painfully.

Why Do They Hurt?

For many people, there just isn’t enough room in the mouth. This leads to what’s known as impaction, when the tooth gets stuck against another tooth or bone and cannot erupt fully.

Signs You Might Need Your Wisdom Teeth Checked:

Jaw pain or swelling near the back molars
Headaches or earaches without explanation
Redness or swelling in the gums behind your molars
Bad breath or a lingering bad taste in your mouth
Difficulty opening your mouth fully

So, Do You Have to Remove Them?

Not always! But if they’re causing pain, damaging nearby teeth, or creating infection risk, your dentist may advise surgical removal.

At MASA Dental, our experienced oral surgeons make the process comfortable and stress-free, with:

✅ Minimal discomfort
✅ Quick recovery guidance
✅ State-of-the-art sterilization and technique

What to Expect Post-Removal:

Some mild swelling and soreness for 3–5 days
Soft diet and saltwater rinses for healing
Complete recovery within 1–2 weeks

You’ll be back to smiling and chewing comfortably in no time.
