WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into the dental arch. Although most people have wisdom teeth, it is possible that they never develop fully. Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the arch.

Damaged or impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems, such as swelling, stiffness, pain or damage to other teeth. Since wisdom teeth are hard to reach while brushing your teeth they are more vulnerable than other teeth.
