Wisdom Teeth Removal in Independence, Ohio

What are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are those far back molars that start surfacing in your late teens or early 20s. These teeth usually come in on both your top and bottom set of teeth on both sides, counting as four teeth. However, not everyone gets all or any of their wisdom teeth, and some do but never have issues with them.

Why Do We Remove Wisdom Teeth?

We do not always have to remove wisdom teeth, but it is very common that we will have to. Some of the most common reasons why we would remove wisdom teeth are if your mouth is not big enough to keep them, if they cause you pain, if they come in sideways, etc.

How to Know if Your Wisdom Teeth Need to be Removed?

If you are experiencing gum swelling, have jaw pain, or if you are always getting food stuck in the back of your mouth, you will likely need to have them removed.
