Sometimes it is necessary to permanently remove the tooth or molar in order to protect the remaining teeth from damage, while following special instructions before and after extraction.

Wisdom tooth Extraction is recommended for teeth that don't have enough room to erupt into the mouth or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth may erupt only partially or not at all. An impacted wisdom tooth may: - Grow at an angle toward the next tooth (second molar) - Grow at an angle toward the back of the mouth - Grow at a right angle to the other teeth, as if the wisdom tooth is "lying down" within the jawbone - Grow straight up or down like other teeth but stay trapped within the jawbone
