Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are your third molars and often develop during the late teens or early twenties. While some erupt normally, others become impacted or grow at improper angles, increasing the risk of pain, infection, crowding, and damage to neighboring teeth. Early evaluation allows you to address potential concerns before they become more serious.
