Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they cause the following:
- Pain, swelling and infection
- Gum issues and gum disease
- Decay that cannot be fixed
- Infections, cysts or tumours
- Damage to the tooth in front.
If your wisdom teeth have come through straight and you are able to clean and maintain them, they may not require removal.
Speak to your dentist at Dental & Facial Clinic if you’re worried about your wisdom teeth.
