Do Wisdom Teeth Always Need to Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually come in during the late teen years or early twenties. They may not cause any immediate issues but can lead to more complications down the road, especially if they become impacted. This leads to them often being removed as a type of preventive measure.
Here are some situations in which wisdom teeth may need to be removed:
- The wisdom teeth are causing pain.
- They can cause deep gum pockets to form and result in gum recession around the second molars.
- They can cause crowding and shift other teeth into a poor bite alignment.
The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
Wisdom tooth extraction is a fairly straightforward process. A patient’s mouth is numbed, and depending on if/how the teeth have erupted, different methods can be used such as a simple or surgical extraction. In the case of impacted wisdom teeth, Dr. Alidadi and our team may need to refer you to a nearby specialist to ensure that you’re receiving care that’s tailored to your circumstances.
