What is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
For most people, there is inadequate space in the mouth for wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional. Many people require wisdom tooth removal to improve their long-term oral health and to enable great results from orthodontic treatment. At Simcoe Kids & Family Dental, we monitor the progression of your mouth, and encourage patients to remove wisdom teeth before they become impacted (stuck) in a potentially harmful position. Impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to the development of infection, damage to other teeth, even cysts or tumors.
