See your dentist: If the teeth are just erupting or partially impacted (stuck, angled) some folks have recurrent problems that can be addressed. If the tooth itself is decayed or abcessed it may need to be removed. Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed but ones that continually impact your life should be. You and your dentist can make that decision.

Wisdom Teeth: Sometimes wisdom teeth are valuable asset when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal. The removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures at ages 16-26. See your dentist for evaluation and x-rays.

See expert: See a wisdom tooth expert, an Oral Surgeon. The Oral Surgeon will treat (remove) the tooth if indicated, or refer you to your General Dentist if it is a tooth infection, a cavity, that needs to be treated, or refer you. To a Periodontist if you have a gum infection. Go see a Pro.
