Wisdom teeth extraction
You wisdom teeth (third molars) are the last of your teeth to erupt from your gumline. Normally appearing during your late teens and early twenties, wisdom teeth often do not have enough room in your smile to grow properly. This often leads wisdom teeth to become impacted. Impaction means that the wisdom teeth grow in sideways or do not fully erupt as they should.
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, abscesses, pain, cysts and tumors, decay of adjacent teeth and the improper shifting of your other teeth. Wisdom teeth removal require a consultation appointment prior to scheduling surgery to review risks and complications associated with wisdom teeth removal as well as anesthetic options. There are times where a 3D scan may be recommended to further assess its position as well as relationship with surrounding structures in three dimension.
