If you or your child are between 17 and 25, you may notice changes in the mouth as wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, start to grow, often causing discomfort and crowding that requires professional evaluation. This process can be uncomfortable and cause your other teeth to shift due to a lack of space in the mouth. Wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they cannot erupt from the gums.
It is possible for some patients to keep their wisdom teeth if they grow in fully, are in the right place, are healthy, and can be kept clean. However, for most people, wisdom teeth must be removed in young adulthood. Some of the most common reasons for needing wisdom teeth removal in Chicago include the following through our comprehensive oral surgery services:
Wisdom teeth coming in can move your other teeth around, potentially causing damage and increasing your risk of cavities and other problems leading to more restorative dental treatments later on.
When wisdom teeth are impacted, they cannot fully erupt through your jaw and gums. This could be from lack of space or the teeth growing at an angle preventing them from coming through straight. This could cause damage to surrounding teeth and persistent tooth pain.
As the wisdom teeth come in, they may push your other teeth forward, causing them to crowd and potentially overlap. If you have had orthodontic treatment, wisdom teeth removal helps protect your investment by preventing shifting.
The area surrounding your wisdom teeth can be painful, making brushing, eating, and drinking highly uncomfortable. Your gums may also become inflamed, making the area hard to clean and more susceptible to cavities and infection. Avoid an emergency dental scenario by proactively removing your wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth can put pressure on and irritate your sinuses, causing congestion. Removing them can help alleviate this pressure and reduce your risk of recurring sinus infections.

Wisdom teeth are typically removed between the ages of 17-25 when the roots have not fully developed and bone is less dense, making extraction easier and recovery faster, though they can be extracted at any age if problems occur.
Signs your wisdom teeth may need removal include pain or discomfort at the back of the mouth, swollen or bleeding gums, jaw stiffness, bad breath, and headaches or facial pain caused by impacted teeth.
Most patients recover from wisdom teeth removal within 7-10 days, with initial swelling and discomfort improving after 2-3 days. Complete healing of the extraction sites typically takes about 3-4 weeks.
Wisdom teeth removal is performed under appropriate anesthesia (local, sedation, or general) to ensure comfort during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications.
