DO WISDOM TEETH ALWAYS NEED TO BE EXTRACTED?

Sometimes there may not be room in your mouth for your wisdom teeth. In such cases, it often tilts in an awkward position, may get stuck under the adjacent teeth, cause food lodgment and consequently caries in the same or adjacent teeth. In such cases, we advise an X-ray to verify its position, its relation with the surrounding vital structures and then decide upon its removal.
