Wisdom Teeth are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth and are the 3rd molar teeth. Because of this they are quite often have no room and are squeezed out due to lack of space. This results in them coming in at all funny angels (ie they are impacted). The impaction makes them hard to remove as getting access to them is difficult as you are only able to open your jaw a limited amount.

The end result of not removing wisdom teeth is

1. Development of infections

2. The other teeth moving out of alignment

3. Possible cyst formation

4. Destruction of the good teeth due to inability to clean.

Wisdom teeth need to be assessed and removed if they are giving you problems. Also in the long term if they are not removed your bones get brittle with age and it becomes more difficult to remove as you age.

We are able to provide oral or IV sedation to have your teeth removed
