Wisdom teeth
Why do we have to pull them out?
The principal reasons for the removable of the wisdom teeth: a lack of space, a bad eruption (teeth are pushing in a bad direction), and the partial eruption of the wisdom teeth (which can cause pain and infections).
Generally, the extraction of the wisdom teeth must be taken place between the age of 20 and 30 years. After 20, because the growth is finished and the lack of space is confirmed. Before 30, because the healing process is facilitated. After 30, the healing time is increase and may be more difficult.
The extraction before the appearance of pain or infection is recommended because it simplifies the medical procedures, reduced the risks of complications, and therefore, decrease the time of the healing process.
