Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Of the 32 teeth, the wisdom teeth are the last to erupt into the mouth. By the time they come in, most of the room in the mouth is taken and the teeth don't fit. Because of the limited space available, a wisdom tooth can grow sideways or can become trapped under the gums and lead to decay of the wisdom tooth and the adjacent molar. They can also cause a lot of pain when they begin to erupt. People often choose proactive wisdom teeth extraction to prevent this from happening.
