Why to remove Wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, but some people never develop them. If these teeth are healthy, fully erupted, properly aligned, and can be cleaned effectively, they may not need to be removed. However, due to limited space or improper alignment, wisdom teeth can become impacted, meaning they don’t fully emerge from the gums. This can cause pain, infection, crowding, and shifting of other teeth.
