Removing Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth impactions can cause multiple problems, such as pain, infection, swelling, decay and loss of the neighboring teeth.

We generally advise the preventative removal of impacted wisdom teeth before any of these problems can arise.

Wisdom teeth become impacted when there is not enough space in the jaws. If addressed early, we can potentially stimulate growth of the jaws.

Wisdom teeth removal is best done by a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who can preserve the neighboring teeth and repair the jaw in the surrounding areas.
