Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth.
When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not
have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The
extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from
properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially
emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to
find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt.
