Prevent Overcrowding & Other Complications

What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. Often, there isn't enough space for them to erupt properly, damaging neighboring teeth and leading to problems like impaction, crowding, infection, gum disease, or tooth decay. Wisdom teeth removal is a standard procedure to prevent or address these issues.
