Wisdom Teeth: Removal and Recovery
Show: Bryan Health Podcasts
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars ( 3rds ), are the four back teeth that generally erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. Having your wisdom teeth removed is a procedure that helps to protect oral health. Nearly 85 percent of people have had their wisdom teeth removed by adulthood. Those who do not remove their wisdom teeth will want to schedule routine dental appointments as the potential for developing problems with wisdom teeth health increases with age. In this segment Kevin Rieck,DDS, discusses why some people may need to have their wisdom teeth removed and what they can expect from the procedure.
