A number of conditions may require oral surgery, including, impacted wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. The third molars are the last set of teeth develop and are often removed because they can cause pain and the jaw may not have room for them. Third molars are also food trappers which can cause bad breath and periodontal pockets. Impacted third molars can cause swelling and constant pain because there is no room for them in the mouth. The impacted teeth can also cause damage to the already existing teeth in the mouth and can shift one’s smile.

It is highly recommended to have our team of dentists at Awesome Dentistry look at the positioning of the wisdom teeth and make sure the third molars will cause no future problems.
