Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
-
Wisdom teeth can be hard to clean and are more prone to decay.
-
Bacteria can infect the tissue surrounding partially erupted molars and cause
gum disease.
-
Crowding can cause damage to adjacent teeth and jawbone.
-
If teeth are inpacted, cysts can form and destroy surrounding bone.
