Why are they removed?
There is a wide variety of reasons that a dental professional may suggest wisdom teeth removal, but one of the most common reasons is due to impaction, which occurs when there is not enough room in the jawline for another set of molars, causing the teeth to erupt sideways.
Pain or discomfort
Pain or discomfort can also be a cause for removal. This happens when the teeth grow at an angle and aren't able to correctly erupt, or are causing problems or damage to surrounding teeth. See our team for more information on if you need a wisdom teeth extraction.
