There criteria most Dental Surgeons will have to determine whether that wisdom tooth of yours need to be removed. These are:
- They have given you gum pains before. These pains will usually subside after some medications and then will recur at a later date. No one can predict the frequency and severity of these recurring pains. They may or may not be accompanied by swelling and pustulent products.
- They have caused cavities in the teeth in front of them due to food trapping or they themselves have cavities from food trappings. These are usually determined by the dental surgeons after a check up or through x-rays results.
- They interfere with the treatment you are having. Usually this will happen in those who seek braces treatment.
- They are constant causes of food trapping and irritation.
