Questions To Ask About Wisdom Teeth Removal
Your wisdom teeth are not like other teeth. If you are in a situation where your dentist recommends that another tooth is extracted, you can make plans to regain your full smile with a custom dental prosthetic. Your wisdom teeth are not replaced when they are extracted, and they can be removed despite the absence of an active problem. These teeth are commonly removed, as people tend to lack space for them. If they are given the opportunity to fully erupt, they can cause painful pressure by pushing against neighboring teeth, they can become impacted, and they can even damage your molars! You can address the problem of erupting wisdom teeth at Sunny Smiles, where we can safely extract them before you start to endure unpleasant complications. (more…)
