Extraction: What more do you need to tell you that these babies need to be extracted. Will only get worse, so you take control and schedule the evaluation with the Oral Surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Good Luck.

Wisdom teeth: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned, causing bad breath, welling gums and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures. See your dentist or oral surgeon for evaluation and x-rays.
