Often times teeth require removal due to the positioning in the mouth, for example when teeth are impacted.
A removal of a tooth can lead to issues with the way you chew, issues with your jaw joint and shifting teeth. These issues can cause significant impact on your overall dental health.
In order to avoid problems, it is important to discuss options your individual situation with regards to tooth extraction.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are at the back of the mouth; they are the third and very last molars that may grow in late during the teen years or early twenties. If wisdom teeth grow perfectly, they do not require extraction however many times they're misaligned and require extraction due to discomfort or pain. Any time a wisdom tooth is not properly aligned this often means that they're growing horizontally, and is crowding or impacting adjoining teeth.
