Most Common Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal:
1️⃣ Pericoronitis (Gum Infection)
Swelling and infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth, often causing pain and difficulty in chewing or opening the mouth.
2️⃣ Periodontal Pocketing on Adjacent Molars
Poorly positioned wisdom teeth can lead to deep gum pockets and bone loss around nearby healthy molars.
3️⃣ Pain and Discomfort
Impacted or erupting wisdom teeth can create pressure, jaw pain, and general discomfort in the back of the mouth.
4️⃣ Tooth Decay / Caries
Wisdom teeth are hard to clean, making them more prone to cavities which may also affect neighboring teeth.
5️⃣ Cyst or Pathology Formation
Impacted wisdom teeth can develop cysts or abnormal growths that damage the jawbone and surrounding structures.
