Removing your wisdom tooth is a nerve-wrecking experience, yet it is almost a rite of passage that we must all experience. When a dentist advises the removal of your wisdom tooth, they would be targeting these two main factors that cause wisdom tooth pain: Gum disease (pericoronitis), and Tooth decay.
Both can cause moderate to severe pain, and when symptomatic, may result in loss of the 2nd molar, which would greatly impact your day-to-day function.
Removing your wisdom tooth in your twenties and thirties is a great way of avoiding such severe pain as your mandibular bone is less dense, and healing outcomes are significantly better.

Tooth decay happens due to the food trap that results from the impacted wisdom tooth. This results in hidden decay that only presents when severe pain occurs. This usually results in loss of both the wisdom tooth and the 2nd molar, which will impact function significantly.
Pericoronitis is the inflammation of the gums above and around the tooth due to the overlying gum flap that causes chronic inflammation. This will result in a throbbing recurrent pain that will only resolve with the removal of the wisdom tooth.
Timely removal of the wisdom tooth is key to preventing unnecessary tooth loss.
