Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth can be harmless—but when there isn’t enough space, they may become impacted and lead to pain, infection, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth. A proper evaluation determines whether removal is necessary.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removed
-
pain or pressure in the back of the mouth
-
swollen or bleeding gums around molars
-
repeated infections or bad taste/breath
-
jaw stiffness or difficulty opening the mouth
-
crowding or shifting teeth
Why Extraction Is Often Recommended
-
prevents future infections and gum disease pockets
-
reduces risk of cysts or damage to nearby teeth
-
helps avoid crowding and bite changes
-
improves comfort and oral hygiene access
