Overview on Wisdom Teeth Removal Sydney
On average, an adult will have 32 teeth, at the age of 18, i.e. 16 teeth on the upper jaw and 16 on the lower. Each tooth has own specific function and name. The teeth in front are called incisors, bicuspid and canine teeth – and all are ideal for chopping food into smaller pieces. And the teeth in the back end are used to make food suitable for swallowing.
The four additional teeth which usually erupt after at the age of 18 are your Third Molars, commonly known as “wisdom teeth.” Unfortunately, your mouth doesn’t have enough room for these wisdom teeth to erupt fully. Teeth that can’t fully erupt become “impacted” and can become infected, cause pain or damages to the adjacent teeth and nerves. Here comes the importance of having wisdom teeth extraction. Wisdom teeth removal Sydney reduces the risk for future gum diseases and restores the balance of your mouth.
