Everything You Need To Know About Wisdom Tooth Extraction Surgery

At Southtowns Dental, we understand that the thought of wisdom tooth extraction surgery can be scary. On the flip-side, we also understand why it is necessary to make proactive decisions now that could prevent your wisdom teeth from causing much larger problems later in life.

Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

Healthy, properly aligned wisdom teeth with room to grow rarely lead to problems. In most cases, wisdom teeth aren’t able to emerge correctly due to a lack of space in the back of the gums. Cramped wisdom teeth will grow in incompletely or crooked. When space completely limits the molars from emerging, they become trapped in your jaw, or impacted.
