People between the ages of 15 and 30 years old should have their wisdom teeth evaluated. If they need to be removed, it should be considered before the age of 30 years when generally fewer complications occur. Tooth roots are not fully formed at a younger age and the surrounding bone is much softer making the process much easier for the patient. Healing is generally faster when the patient is younger. The bone that surrounds the teeth has a greater capacity for healing before the age of 30.
