Why do I need to get my wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth that are impacted or embedded in bone are at risk of developing cysts and other forms of pathology. These impacted teeth may also create bone loss to second molars when they are too close. Wisdom teeth that are partially erupted are at more risk of developing infections because bacteria and food easily get trapped in the space between
the tooth and the gum.

Infected teeth can be treated in one of two ways, either by extraction or a root canal. A root canal involves removing the infected nerve tissue from the tooth and restoring that tooth with a crown. When a tooth is missing, teeth near that space can shift, ultimately affecting the patient's bite and chewing ability.
