Wisdom teeth are so-named due to their tendency to come through much later than your other adult teeth. Once your wisdom teeth attempt to come through, it’s not uncommon for them to erupt at awkward angles or to become impacted.
This can cause pain and reoccurring infections that threaten your oral health. Wisdom teeth removal can be likened to having a tonsillectomy in the sense that once they are removed, you will no longer have repeated problems that cause you pain or threaten your oral health.
Wisdom tooth removal has become a routine dental procedure with very little recovery time, thanks to the huge strides in modern dental equipment.
