What do i do if my wisdom teeth are rooting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam and x-rays: You should have a consultation with your dentist in order to determine if it looks like your wisdom teeth are coming in straight and also if there will be enough room for them. This can easily be determined with a clinical exam and x-rays. Depending upon your age and their development, your dentist might suggest removal, monitoring them or if you are lucky, no problem expected.
