Whether you’re experiencing wisdom tooth pain or are wondering if extraction will be a necessity down the road, our dentist is ready to help.
Here’s what you need to know about wisdom teeth extraction.
Do I Need Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Not all people need their wisdom teeth removed. In fact, some people are able to keep all four wisdom teeth! However, most people will need one or more wisdom teeth removed to prevent crowding in their smile.
If you don’t have sufficient space in your jaw for the third molars, you may also experience the pain associated with impacted wisdom teeth. An impaction happens when the tooth doesn’t have enough room to emerge or develop normally. As a result, the tooth may become trapped under the gums or partially erupt and push other teeth out of its path.
