Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth are the four teeth (two top, two bottom) at the very back of the mouth. They only appear when we are in our late teens or twenties. You only need to have your wisdom teeth out if they’re causing problems. That said, because they come through when all other adult teeth have long since formed, impaction is a really common problem. This is when the wisdom teeth press against existing teeth, grow in at an angle and get stuck. If it causes pain, swelling and infection, having your wisdom teeth removed is probably the wisest course of action.
