Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Although wisdom teeth are classified as impacted, this does not necessarily mean they will cause trouble. If your impacted wisdom teeth do begin to cause trouble this when your dentist may advise having those teeth removed. This may be advised due to the following reasons:

• The tooth is causing swelling or inflammation
• Compromising other teeth
• The tooth is causing pain
• There is simply not enough room

If the wisdom tooth removal is suspected to be complex or a complicated procedure, you may be referred to an oral surgeon.
