Risks Associated with Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Depending on the patient, wisdom teeth can cause a variety of complications. Most of us know by now that wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that develop between the ages of 17-24. Most of the time, they remain impacted, which means that there isn’t enough space in the mouth for them to grow and blossom into teeth that are useful. Warning signs of impacted wisdom teeth can include frequent headaches that can cause tension in the neck. If your wisdom teeth are causing you discomfort, it may be time to contact the Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania.


Wisdom teeth extraction isn’t always necessary, but it’s highly recommended. This is because wisdom teeth, especially impacted ones can increase a patient’s risk of developing an infection. Headaches may develop as a result of tension and irregular pressure in the jaw due to wisdom teeth development. When left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth will do more harm than good. If you don’t want to live with a permanent toothache, it’s important to consider extraction.
