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. Our Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth for any present or future problems.

With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, Dr. Stern, our Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there are present or future potential problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist, or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
