Many people do not have enough room in their mouth for wisdom teeth. If these molars do emerge, there is a good chance that they will cause problems in the future. That is why it is wise to have your wisdom teeth removed preventively.
Wisdom teeth that do not erupt completely can cause problems such as caries or gum infections. Sometimes a cyst or tumor can also develop around the wisdom tooth. For these reasons, your dentist will regularly take an X-ray to check how your wisdom teeth are doing. If necessary, your dentist will remove the wisdom tooth preventively.
