Every wisdom tooth is different. Some become trapped or impacted.
Impacted wisdom teeth are the source of pain, swelling of gums, bad breath, bleeding gums, infection, and even headaches.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause damage to surrounding teeth as well. Even when they are not causing discomfort because of being crowded or impacted, they are often hard to clean and very prone to tooth decay.
Oral Surgery becomes becomes necessary when a wisdom tooth lacks the space it needs to properly emerge.
“.Dr. Paul has a good manner with his patients and takes his time with you. He takes care to explain the procedures, something most dentists don't do. My coworkers recommended, and I am glad I listened.”
