Does My Child Need to Have a Wisdom Tooth Removed?
Third molars typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. While there are some rare cases where the mouth is large enough to accommodate extra third molars, this is often not the case. If your child starts to notice pain in the back of their mouth, there’s a possibility that their wisdom teeth are beginning to erupt or are creating pressure. In many cases, wisdom teeth can become trapped underneath existing teeth and gum tissue. This can dramatically increase the risk of oral infection developing. Wisdom teeth can also cause damage to adjacent teeth if not properly managed.
