As you grow into your smile, it’s important to keep an eye on how things are progressing. This is especially true during your late teens and into your early twenties, when your last set of molars called your wisdom teeth develop. These teeth are evolutionary holdovers from a time when humans had much larger jaws, and that means that you just might not have room for them. Wisdom teeth can cause real problems for growing smiles, including enamel damage, and for those who’ve just completed orthodontic treatment, they can undo all your hard work.
Here at Sunny Smiles, we understand the value of keeping up with your oral health. People of all ages need to come in for a checkup every six months, and when you’re in your teens, these visits are particularly important to keep an eye on the development of your third set of molars. So, if it’s been a while since your last visit, take the time to talk about your smile.
Wisdom teeth can pose real issues if ignored. Experience advanced imagery and quality care from Sunny Smiles.
