Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted tooth in the mouth. A combination of a changing diet, evolving jaw size and other genetic factors have meant that the human jaw has been shrinking.
As a result, the wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are often impacted, causing pain, swelling, food packing and are generally uncomfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove my wisdom teeth?
There is a mistaken theory that all wisdom teeth always need to be removed.
If a wisdom tooth is unerupted (not exposed in the mouth) and unlikely to erupt and cause any gum problems, it can stay there forever. You just need to monitor it periodically with dental x-rays.
If a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, most of the time, it will need to be removed especially if it is erupted and impacted in a funny position. Sometimes even if there is no pain / discomfort, it can cause issues further down the track and result in a more difficult removal when you are older.
If your wisdom teeth have erupted well and in a good position, they are just as good as any other molars and as long as you keep it clean, it’s great to leave in your mouth!
Are my wisdom teeth making my other teeth move?
It used to be thought that the eruption of wisdom teeth causes crowding of the front teeth. There have been numerous studies published that have proven that this is incorrect. The reason it may seem so, is because the timing of the teeth drifting forward naturally and the wisdom teeth coming out seems to be similar. The crowding effect is noted on those without wisdom teeth as well so rest assured, this is not a reason to have to take wisdom teeth out.
