Wisdom Teeth

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.

When it comes to the evaluation and treatment of wisdom teeth in Northwest Indiana, Dr. Platt and his team are experts on the subject.  Wisdom teeth need to be evaluated early on, even before they ever cause any problems, to determine if they need to be removed for the overall well-being of your oral health.
