Wisdom teeth are removed because they often are misaligned, impacted, or partially erupted. These issues can cause damage to surrounding tissues, nerves and bones which is why Platinum Dental Daybreak recommends Wisdom teeth be removed.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to grow in and often emerge in early adulthood. Dental research has found that they often cause more trouble than they are worth. It is best to have wisdom teeth removed as a teenager or in early adulthood because the bone is less dense which makes the extraction and healing process much easier. If you have a teenager or you haven’t yet had your wisdom teeth removed, give us a call and we will be happy to help you out.
