Wisdom teeth cause problems when the jaw has no room for them. They erupt sideways, jam against the molar in front, or break partway through and leave a flap of gum that traps bacteria under it. Plenty of wisdom teeth never cause any trouble at all, which is why imaging decides this rather than age.
At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens office images the roots and their relationship to the nerve before recommending removal, and handles both straightforward eruptions and fully impacted teeth on site. Oral conscious sedation is available if the prospect of the procedure is what has been delaying it.
Dr. Calvin Kaler leads our Palm Beach Gardens office on Burns Road, where wisdom teeth causing no problems are left alone rather than removed by default.
