Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Not everyone needs wisdom teeth removed. Extraction is recommended if wisdom teeth are impacted, causing pain, crowding other teeth, partially erupted (creating infection risk), or decayed. We use X-rays to evaluate your wisdom teeth and will recommend removal only if necessary. The procedure can be done with sedation for your comfort.
