Common Reasons for Removal:
Impaction: They can get stuck in the jawbone or gums, causing pain and swelling.
Infection (Pericoronitis): Partially erupted teeth trap food and bacteria, leading to gum infection, bad breath, and pus.
Crowding & Damage: They can push against adjacent molars, causing them to shift, become damaged, or leading to decay in neighboring teeth.
Cysts: A fluid-filled sac (cyst) can form around an impacted tooth, damaging bone and teeth.
Difficulty Cleaning: Their location makes them hard to brush and floss, increasing risk for cavities and gum disease.
Sinus Issues: Eruption can sometimes cause sinus pain and pressure.
