It is therefore the perfect opportunity for a quiet evening at home!

Understanding wisdom teethThe development of our permanent dentition (28 of 32 potential teeth) is completed at the age of 14 or 15. The eruption of our 4 wisdom teeth occurs more slowly and sometimes these teeth never break through the gum tissue. Their root formation is completed on average at the age of 21. Positioned at the very back of the dental arches, these third molars (commonly referred to as wisdom teeth) require attention and particular treatments. |
