Why Teens Should Visit an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Around Age 15
Around the age of 15, it is important for teens to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to assess the status of their wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action. Early attention ensures timely treatment and better outcomes for your teen’s oral health.
Failing to address wisdom teeth early may lead to significant issues, including pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth or development of cysts/tumors.
Early evaluation allows the OMS to monitor the development of wisdom teeth and intervene if needed, helping to prevent future serious complications. Addressing these issues during the teenage years lays a strong foundation for lifelong oral health. Schedule your consultation with an OMS today!
