Wisdom teeth assessment

Most children: 16y–18

What it is

One x-ray between 16 and 18 shows whether the wisdom teeth have room.

Start preparing

1. Ask at a routine dental check — no separate appointment is usually needed.
2. Many people never need them removed; the assessment is what tells you.
