Why should I have my wisdom teeth extracted?

Why should I have my wisdom teeth extracted?

Wisdom teeth can sometimes feel like a dental milestone, but for many people, they bring more trouble than benefit. These third molars often do not have enough room to emerge properly, which can lead to pain, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth.

At Dentique Studios, we understand that deciding to remove them can feel daunting, and we are here to guide you through the process with compassion and care.

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Extracting wisdom teeth can help prevent a range of dental issues, including:

  • Impaction, where the tooth becomes trapped under the gum or jawbone
  • Infection or inflammation in the surrounding gums
  • Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  • Damage to existing dental work, such as crowns or bridges

In some cases, wisdom teeth may also contribute to jaw discomfort or sinus problems. Removing them early, often in the late teens or early twenties, can help you avoid more complex issues later in life.
