When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth are commonly taken out in the late teens or early twenties, though timing depends on each patient. If they cause pain, infection, or crowding, early removal is recommended. Routine dental checkups allow your dentist to track their growth and decide the best time for extraction.
