Why Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Needed?

Your wisdom teeth can cause a whole variety of problems if they’re allowed to fully form into your mouth. In many cases, our dentists suggest they be removed because your jaw may not be large enough to house them. If this happens, the wisdom teeth can become impacted and unable to break through your gums. This can be painful and can even lead to infection.

At our practice in Woburn Wisdom Teeth Removal is often recommended for several reasons, including:

If they break partway through the gums, they can create a small flap in the gums that can easily become infected
Impacted teeth can lead to infection or damages to the surrounding teeth
Wisdom teeth can affect the positioning of your other teeth, so, if you’ve had orthodontia, and may ruin how straight your teeth are
