When Should You Have Your Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out, but some warning signs shouldn't be ignored. Jaw pain or stiffness, swollen or tender gums at the back of your mouth, pressure on neighboring teeth, and headaches near your jaw can all point to a problem. Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can lead to infection, cysts, and damage to the teeth beside them.
Our Clay Road team makes it easy to find out where you stand. Schedule your $89 consultation, including an exam and X-rays, and we'll show you exactly what's happening and which options make sense.
