Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience problems such as:

• Impaction: When there isn't enough room for the wisdom teeth to emerge properly, they can become impacted, leading to pain, swelling, and infection.

• Crowding: Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding of other teeth, potentially disrupting the alignment of your smile.

• Decay and Gum Disease: Due to their location, wisdom teeth are harder to clean, making them more susceptible to cavities and gum disease.

What We Cover with Wisdom Teeth Removal?
