Wisdom teeth raise many questions. Do they need to come out, what is involved, how long is recovery? At Smile On Clinics, we give straight answers and help you make informed decisions.
Many wisdom teeth erupt without trouble. When there is not enough room, we assess thoroughly and recommend removal only when there is ongoing or likely risk to your oral health.
Problems are more likely when teeth are impacted, partially erupted, growing at an angle, causing repeated pain or infection, or associated with decay in adjacent teeth.
Not necessarily. Healthy, fully erupted wisdom teeth that are easy to clean may only need monitoring at check-ups. Removal is recommended when there is risk to oral health.
History review, examination, and X-rays assess position, root shape, and proximity to nerves and surrounding structures.
Your dentist explains whether simple or surgical removal is needed and what that means for the procedure and recovery.
