Why Would My Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth that become trapped under the gums can cause high levels of discomfort. They can also lead to other problems if there’s not enough room for them in the mouth. For example:
- They might push the other teeth around and alter your bite.
- Cysts could form and hollow out the jawbone.
- Wisdom teeth in the upper arch can cause sinus pain and congestion.
- Your risk for cavities and gum disease could increase.
Some patients can keep their wisdom teeth without any problems, but if we think the above complications are likely, it’s better to have an extraction performed and avoid the long-term issues altogether.
