Wisdom Teeth Removal by Dr. Garry Shnayder
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes these teeth can become impacted due to lack of space in the jaw or angle of entry. Removing wisdom teeth can prevent numerous problems, including:
- Infection: Impacted teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to serious infection.
- Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Growth of wisdom teeth can push against neighboring teeth, causing misalignment and damage.
- Cysts and Tumors: Cysts can form around new teeth, potentially damaging the jawbone and healthy teeth.
- Overcrowding: Existing teeth can be pushed out of place, requiring orthodontic work to straighten.
