When your teen reaches closer to adulthood, there is one last set of teeth, and these can become an issue. Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars, and sometimes, people simply do not have the room for them in their mouths. That means that for a fair number of patients, their development also means having a discussion about extraction, or the removal of these teeth.

Wisdom Teeth Can Push Other Teeth Out Of The Way

Those final molars can be quite pushy. As they grow, they try to find a spot, but due to evolutionary changes, they simply might not have the space. But they are growing regardless, meaning that if you’re not ready, it can shift your teen’s smile. so, during their later adolescence and into their twenties, it’s important to keep them on the right schedule of imagery with a trusted dental provider.

For many parents, these teeth can be rather mysterious. After all, if we don’t need them, then why do we have them?

The answer to this question lies in evolutionary development. When we ate primarily raw meat, we needed stronger jaw power in order to make it through. As we started to cook our meals, our faces became slimmer, leaving less room for these teeth. And now, they can pose problems.
