We’re all born with a set of wisdom teeth and unfortunately, some will require these large molars to be extracted. What factors determine whether or not a dentist will be required to remove these teeth?
– A wisdom tooth that is impacted with another tooth may need to be removed.
– Those with smaller jaws may require an extraction (there is not enough room in the mouth).
– Teeth that are extremely crooked could likewise be candidates for removal.
“Wisdom teeth are your third molars which don’t erupt through the gum line until late in adolescence.”
