Your : Your dentists can advise you about whether it is sensibel to keep your wisdom teeth or have them removed. That decision is based on te likelihood of your having complications in the future because of the incorrect positioning of an wisdom tooth that has failed to erupt properly and is impacted, or may be coming into a mouth where there simply is not enough room for it. There is a communication between the crypt that surrounds the crown of an un-erupted tooth and the mouth. Bacteria inevitably make there way down to the crypt and at a moment of stress or depressed auto immune efficiency the whole area can flare up and you can be incapacitated and made quite ill. Take your dentist's advice. Have your wisdom teeth out. Dr neil mcleod dds dentistry that lasts - quality that counts.
