Wisdom teeth usually cause no problems, but if there isn't enough space for them to grow they can cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to other teeth. Surgical removal (extraction) of one or more wisdom teeth can help to resolve these problems.

Problems associated with Wisdom Teeth:

Wisdom teeth that are healthy and in the right position usually don’t cause problems. You may have a problem if any of the following occur:
1. Your wisdom teeth break through your gums only partway because of a lack of space. This can cause a flap of gum tissue to grow over them. The flap can trap food and lead to a gum infection.
2. They come in crooked or facing in the wrong direction causing cheek bite and ulcers at times.

Do I need Removal of Wisdom Teeth?

1. Pain or jaw stiffness near an impacted tooth.
2. Pain or irritation from a tooth coming in at an awkward angle and rubbing against your cheek, tongue, or top or bottom of your mouth.
3. An infected swelling in the flap of gum tissue that has formed on top of an impacted tooth that has broken partway through the gum.
4. Crowding of other teeth.
