Questions & Answers

Anonymous Patient
Because impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, formation of tumors, root resorption of adjacent teeth, and crowding of the teeth, it is usually best to have these teeth extracted. However, there are risk factors to consider such as the age and health of the patient, and the proximity of the impacted tooth to nerves, vessels, and sinuses. These factors need to be analyzed, so that it can be determined if the risk of surgery is greater or less than the benefit of having the wisdom teeth removed. This can be determined by your dentist or oral surgeon by simply reviewing your medical history, dental history, and reading a quality radiograph of your wisdom teeth and jaw. In summary, most of the time it's best to extract impacted wisdom teeth, provided risk factors are reasonabley minimal.
