Episode Details

Do wisdom teeth actually make your jaw bigger, or is that just a common myth? In this episode, we break down the facts about wisdom teeth, jaw size, and why these teeth often cause problems.

What you will learn in this episode:

• Whether wisdom teeth can change the size or shape of your jaw

• What impacted wisdom teeth are and why they cause pain and crowding
• When wisdom tooth extraction becomes necessary

If you have jaw pain, swelling, or questions about your wisdom teeth, this episode will help you understand what is normal and when to see a dentist.
