Why Are Wisdom Teeth Extracted?

Problems caused by wisdom teeth include Decay or infection occurs often in wisdom teeth because they are in the back of your mouth. This makes them harder to clean.

Gum disease can also occur in the gums around the wisdom tooth. Gum disease causes gums to become red, swollen, and painful. An infection can also form small tumors-or cysts (fluid-filled sacs) around the wisdom tooth. Impaction occurs when wisdom teeth do not fully emerge above the gums. You may not see impacted wisdom teeth at all, or you may see part of them. Impacted wisdom teeth can grow into and damage other teeth’s roots, and they can become infected. Overcrowding occurs when there is not enough space for all your teeth.
