When is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?
Not everybody who has wisdom teeth needs to have them removed. We typically only suggest this procedure in the following situations:
- They’re causing you pain and discomfort.
- They’re impacted below the gumline.
- There’s not enough room for them to grow into your mouth without causing misalignment.
- You’re at a risk of developing a cyst or tumor that could affect your jawbone.
- As a preventive measure to help you maintain good oral health down the road by making it easier to brush and floss.
