Can Wisdom Teeth Fall Out Naturally?

Usually, wisdom teeth do not fall out naturally. They tend to erupt during the late teens or early twenties but often encounter issues due to lack of space in the jaw.

In some cases, they may partially emerge, causing discomfort or crowding in the mouth. This can lead to various dental problems. Extraction might be recommended by a dentist if the wisdom teeth cause pain, misalignment, or other oral issues.

Can I keep my Wisdom Teeth?

The decision to keep or remove wisdom teeth largely depends on various factors, including, alignment of the teeth, jaw size, and individual oral health.

At our Mesa clinic, we highly recommend consulting with a dentist or oral surgeon. This consultation is crucial for evaluating whether these teeth can be retained without causing future problems or if removal would be the more beneficial option.

While some individuals opt to retain their wisdom teeth, others choose removal as a preventive measure against potential dental problems.

Understanding the benefits and risks associated with either decision is important in making an informed choice regarding the retention or extraction of wisdom teeth.

Benefits of removing Wisdom Teeth

While some people’s wisdom teeth grow in without causing any issues, for many, they can lead to various problems, such as:

  • Overcrowding
  • Pain
  • Infections
  • Alignment issues

Here are some reasons why removing them could be beneficial:

  • Preventative Measures: Extracting problematic wisdom teeth early on can prevent potential oral complications in the future.
  • Alignment Issues: Wisdom teeth can disrupt the alignment of your existing teeth, causing shifting and misalignment.
  • Infections & Decay: Wisdom teeth can be challenging to clean, leading to bacterial buildup, infections, and decay.
  • Pain Relief: Extracting problematic wisdom teeth can relieve the pain and discomfort they often cause.
