"So are you wondering on when you should get your wisdom teeth pulled? Well my name is Michelle and a I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm here to explain on just the correct time of when you should get your wisdom teeth pulled. Basically you definitely don't want to wait until your wisdom teeth start bothering you and causing you discomfort. You definitely need to see your general dentist and usually around the age to get them pulled is around seventeen, eighteen. Depending on if you're male or female due to the fact that it has been proven that females body's mature faster than males, so you definitely - if you are a boy, then you definitely around the age of seventeen, eighteen, and then sometimes with girls even maybe sixteen to seventeen. But definitely you check out with your general dentist so therefore he can kind of monitor you as the wisdom teeth are developing and erupting through your gums. But you definitely don't want to wait until you're in your late twenties or early thirties because you risk more of your wisdom teeth starting to cause you problems. And it's always recommended, every dentist out there is different, but some - nine times out of ten they recommend to get your wisdom teeth pulled. Just the fact because you don't really function with them they're so far back there, you're not really chewing with them. And plus they only will cause you problems in the future with cavities or a perio-gum disease starting to settle in, so definitely check with your general dentist, but roughly around the age - anywhere from the age of sixteen to eighteen to early twenties of when you want to get your wisdom teeth pulled. Once again my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I just explained to you on the correct way on - age on getting your wisdom teeth pulled."
