Are wisdom teeth really necessary? While they once aided our ancestors in chewing rough foods, modern diets and advancements in dental care render them often redundant. Yet, their presence can lead to various issues like crowding and infections. So, should we still consider them essential?

Many people today have smaller jaws due to changes in eating habits and genetics, which often results in insufficient space for wisdom teeth to erupt properly. This can lead to various problems such as impaction (when a tooth becomes stuck under the gum), crowding, shifting of adjacent teeth, and increased susceptibility to infections and tooth decay.

Having wisdom teeth can pose challenges to maintaining oral hygiene because they are located in the back of the mouth and are difficult to clean properly. This can increase the risk of gum disease and decay of adjacent teeth.
