What’s The Deal With Wisdom Teeth? [VIDEO]

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that often break through in the late teens or early twenties. If they erupt normally, wisdom teeth are fairly harmless. But if your jaw is too small or your teeth are already a bit crowded, you will likely experience problems. Your wisdom tooth can become impacted or wedged in the soft tissue causing swelling, infection, and, in certain instances: cysts and tumors. If that ever happens, we can take care of your wisdom teeth extractions right here in our Longmeadow, MA dentist’s office. Check out today’s video link from the American Dental Association in which they talk about wisdom teeth. Then be sure to contact us to schedule your next dental checkup with Dr. Dores!
