When is the Best Time to Extract Wisdom Teeth?

There is no specific best time for wisdom tooth extraction. Generally, it is better to extract wisdom teeth between 18 and 30 years old. However, if there are obvious symptoms, they should be extracted as soon as possible to avoid affecting physical health.

Wisdom teeth refer to the third molars in the maxilla or mandible, which often cause tooth malformation. If they cannot erupt normally, they will repeatedly cause periodontitis and other diseases, so they need to be extracted. If there are no obvious clinical symptoms in patients with wisdom teeth, the best time for extraction is generally between 18 and 30 years old, as the physical condition is relatively good during this period, and the recovery speed after tooth extraction is faster, which is less likely to induce diseases. However, if patients experience symptoms such as pain and swelling, they need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Under the guidance of a doctor, the teeth should be extracted according to the condition of the disease, which is beneficial for disease recovery and avoiding lesions in surrounding tissues that affect physical health. The specific situation needs to be consulted with a doctor, and wisdom teeth should be extracted according to individual conditions.

In daily life, it is important to pay attention to oral hygiene, brush teeth in the morning and evening, rinse the mouth after meals, and regularly visit the hospital for follow-up. If abnormal symptoms occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid inducing other symptoms and affecting physical health.
