Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the last to develop and often emerge without issues. However, sometimes there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly. This can cause the teeth to:
- Erupt in an abnormal position
- Be partially erupted
- Remain fully impacted under the gums or bone
When this happens, the teeth can become infected or cause discomfort. In such cases, your dentist may recommend removing the wisdom teeth to protect your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
If they are impacted and infected or cause crowding in your teeth, it is recommended that they be removed to avoid damaging the surrounding teeth. If they grow into the normal position and function properly, it is not necessary to have them removed.
What are impacted wisdom teeth?
A wisdom tooth is considered impacted if there is not enough room after the second molar for the tooth to emerge or develop normally.
What are some problems that can arise if I do not remove my wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, if it is not erupted properly, can cause further dental problems, including damage to surrounding teeth, jaw damage, infected gum tissues, cavities, alignment problems and sinus issues.
Why are wisdom teeth more difficult to remove than other teeth?
Being the last tooth to erupt in the mouth, very often there is not enough space and these teeth either do not erupt completely or erupt partially in the mouth. Moreover, these teeth have curved roots and it may be close to the nerve of the lower jaw. This makes it much more difficult to remove as compared to a normally erupted tooth.
How much will it cost to get my wisdom teeth removed?
The cost of the treatment depends on the complexity of the case.
