Why do I require a wisdom tooth removal?

How can we remove the wisdom teeth

After extraction, the gums will be closed with sutures which can be removed after a week. In such cases there are many factors like the proximity of the nerve and the placement of the adjacent teeth to be careful of. All these structures can be viewed in a radiograph. This procedure is priced differently from a normal extraction.

Do I need to get all my wisdom teeth removed?

The answer can only be known after seeing a radiograph. But in many cases we suggest getting the wisdom teeth of one side extracted on one day and then plan the rest after a few weeks. Because if the wisdom tooth on the lower jaw is extracted and the upper is left to grow, it might grow into the space left by its counterpart and cause more issues like cheek biting and a sharp discomfort. Getting the wisdom teeth on one side extracted and then planning for the rest can also save up a lot of the treatment expenses.
