Wisdom Teeth Extractions

When is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?

Dr. Langston may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed if:

• They are pressing on your back teeth.
• They have become trapped beneath the gum line, or impacted.
• They have created a flap in the gum tissue that accumulates food and bacteria.
• Are causing cysts to develop in the area.
• Are infected.

If you believe your wisdom teeth are causing you trouble, Dr. Langston will take some X-rays and let you know if an extraction is necessary.
