Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge in the back of the mouth. They typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25, and for many people, they can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Wisdom teeth can become impacted, meaning they don’t have enough room to fully emerge, causing pain, swelling, and infection. In some cases, the only way to alleviate wisdom teeth pain is through wisdom tooth removal.

Impacted wisdom teeth occur when the teeth don’t break through the gum line. This causes them to grow at an uncomfortable angle and press into other teeth, the back of your mouth or jawbone. Partially impacted teeth barely break through the gums while fully impacted wisdom teeth don’t break through at all.

Let’s explore the signs of impacted wisdom teeth, what complications they cause and how Divine Dental of Vancouver can help. We keep patient education and comfort at the centre of everything we do.
