While it’s true that not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed, it’s also true that wisdom teeth don’t always cause pain or discomfort before becoming a problem.
Some can remain in place if they’re healthy, fully erupted, easy to clean, and not affecting the teeth around them.
But pain isn’t the only thing we look at.
Position, available space, surrounding gum and bone health, and the impact on neighboring teeth all matter.
An exam and imaging can show what’s happening beneath the surface and help determine whether your wisdom teeth can be monitored or if removal may be recommended.
Not sure what yours are doing? An exam and imaging can give you a clearer answer. Schedule with one of our board-certified oral surgeons at oklahomadios.com.
