How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
You may need to have your wisdom teeth removed if you experience pain, swelling, infection, crowding, or difficulty cleaning the back of your mouth. Regular dental exams and X-rays at your dentist can confirm whether removal is necessary to protect your oral health.

What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth occurs when there isn’t enough space for it to emerge properly. The severity depends on its position: soft tissue impaction happens when the crown breaks through bone but remains partly covered by gum; partial bony impaction means the tooth is partly visible but still partly within the jawbone; and complete bony impaction occurs when the tooth is fully encased in bone.
