When is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?
We typically recommend removing wisdom teeth after we examine your smile and determine that you’re at risk for any of the following issues:
- There isn’t enough room in your jawbone for them to grow in, which could cause your teeth to become crowded.
- They may not grow in all the way, increasing your risk of developing an oral infection.
- They’re growing in sideways, which may keep them from ever erupting.
- The sac that your wisdom teeth are formed in may turn into a cyst and cause damage to your teeth and bones.
