Often considered a rite of passage for young adults, the removal of the third molars, (or wisdom teeth) occurs when these teeth – too big for most mouths – start erupting around 18 years of age. For many people, these large teeth come in sideways, under other adult teeth or only partially – causing bacteria to grow, teeth to shift out of alignment, cysts, infection, and gum disease.

Here at Sunshine Dental, we monitor the growth of the wisdom teeth and will recommend removing them if we notice problems. Don’t worry … removing the wisdom teeth won’t cause any decline in GPA!
