Avoid Overcrowding & Related Issues

Understanding Wisdom Teeth Removal

Third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth, are the final set of teeth to emerge, typically appearing between ages 17 and 25. Frequently, there is insufficient room for them to emerge correctly, which can harm adjacent teeth and result in complications such as impaction, crowding, infections, gum disease, or tooth decay. Removing wisdom teeth is a routine procedure aimed at preventing or resolving these concerns.
