Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually emerge in your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, they become impacted, misaligned, or cause pain and infection, requiring removal to protect your oral health.

- Cyst or Damage to Nearby Teeth: Impacted teeth can lead to serious complications.
Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction
