Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually appear in your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly. This can cause them to come in at an angle, remain stuck under the gums, or push against nearby teeth. When wisdom teeth don’t grow in correctly, they can lead to discomfort, swelling, and infection. Some patients may not notice symptoms right away, which is why regular checkups are important. Identifying issues early helps prevent more serious problems later.

Wisdom teeth don’t always need to be removed, but certain symptoms can indicate a problem.
You may notice:
  • Pain or pressure in the back of your mouth
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
  • Jaw stiffness or headaches
  • Bad taste or odor due to trapped bacteria
If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s best to have your wisdom teeth evaluated early.

Recovery after wisdom tooth removal is usually straightforward when proper care is followed. Most patients experience mild swelling and soreness for a few days, which gradually improves.
To support healing, we recommend:
  • Resting for the first 24 hours
  • Eating soft foods initially
  • Avoiding straws and smoking
  • Keeping the area clean as instructed
Following these steps helps reduce discomfort and allows your mouth to heal properly.
