Why have wisdom teeth removed?2026-03-20T23:46:19+00:00

Wisdom teeth come in years after your other teeth. This can mean there just isn’t enough room for them in your jaw, which can cause pain and crowd your other teeth. It’s also not uncommon for wisdom teeth to only partially emerge from your jaw. This makes you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.
