Your dentist has recommended you have your wisdom teeth removed. Why? Wisdom teeth are the last teeth in the mouth and often don’t have enough room to fully erupt. Problems can occur such as crowding of the other teeth, difficulty in keeping these unerupted teeth clean and healthy as well as the possibility of cysts and tumors forming around them. Removing them at a young age will almost always help make your mouth healthier.
