Wisdom Teeth Removal
Should I have my wisdom teeth removed?
Our dentist is the best person to assess whether wisdom teeth removal is right for you. When there’s not enough space in your jaw, wisdom teeth can become impacted, leading to pain, infections, or even shifting other teeth out of alignment. Partially erupted wisdom teeth can also leave you vulnerable to decay and infection. If you’re experiencing discomfort or need an emergency wisdom tooth extraction, don’t wait! Contact our Windsor dental clinic and discuss your options for wisdom teeth removal.
