What is wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom teeth, also known as “third molars,” are generally removed because most people experience problems when the teeth erupt too close to existing teeth, causing crowding, improper bites, and discomfort. The wisdom teeth are also particularly prone to periodontal disease and tooth decay, since they are located so far back in the mouth and are difficult to clean. Wisdom teeth removal in Lindon, Utah, is done gently with a minimum of post-operative discomfort.
