Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Impaction
Wisdom teeth that don't have enough room to emerge properly can become trapped (impacted) in your jawbone or gums, causing pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
Crowding
Even partially erupted wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, causing crowding, misalignment, and undoing previous orthodontic work.
Infection and Decay
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create pockets where bacteria can accumulate, leading to infections (pericoronitis), cavities, and gum disease.
Cysts and Tumors
Impacted wisdom teeth can develop cysts or tumors around them, potentially damaging the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
Pain and Discomfort
Chronic pain, swelling, and inflammation from problematic wisdom teeth significantly impact your quality of life.
Preventive Removal
Many dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth in late teens or early twenties before problems develop, as younger patients typically heal faster.
