Mostly, wisdom tooth removal can be done effectively and uneventfully regardless the age. Age factors that usually affect the choice for removal are:
It will be less likely for a patient to experience complications if the extraction is done at an early age. Research shows that a complication, linked with curing and the process itself that happens in association with the wisdom tooth removal ascends if the patient has passed their mid 20’s.
Another reason in relation to age is the development of the root structure, preferably should have grown to two thirds of its length. This should have developed by age 18 or so but may differ from person to person. Hence, the average age when the root formation is two thirds and the bone around the tooth is not very dense is 18-24. Removal is easier during this period. Furthermore, the curing and resiliency is faster in a younger patient.
Your dentist must explain to you what you may experience during the process and in the succeeding period where healing will take place during the pre-extraction examination.
