Do i need to remove my wisdom tooth?

You must have often heard about many people telling about their’s wisdom tooth removal, and that’s no wonder: According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillo-facial Surgeons, nine in ten people have at least one wisdom tooth that is impacted and needs to be removed. It’s best to extract wisdom teeth in younger patients, as patients over the age of 35 are at a greater risk for complications. Firstly because wisdom teeth removal at that phase of age might need a lot of invasive procedures. Secondly you may have more post operative discomforts. If your wisdom teeth appear to have fully erupted and aren’t causing you any pain, they still might need to be removed. Mainly because most commonly the corners of the mouth are very difficult to reach by the toothbrush and any unaware maintenance by you might lead to decay or gums issues in erupted wisdom tooth. now to know your teeth well we at CDiC will take few x-rays of your teeth.
