Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are your third set of molars that come in between the ages of 15 and 25. While they may come in and not cause any problems at all, they are notorious for wreaking havoc.

Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Removal
There are a variety of factors that may require wisdom teeth removal. However, every patient is different so it’s important to schedule a consultation with our team to see if an extraction is right for you. You may need a wisdom tooth extraction if they are:
- Impacted — When wisdom teeth are impacted that means that they are stuck underneath your gums, which can damage your gums and cause infection.
- Crowding Other Teeth — If you don’t have enough room, your wisdom teeth can push your teeth out of alignment and change your bite.
- Erupting at an Angle — Wisdom teeth may grow in at an angle which will put pressure on the teeth around them.
