Ever wonder why dentists remove wisdom teeth? Impacted wisdom teeth can cause several problems in the mouth, such as damage to its neighbouring tooth. If the wisdom tooth pushes against the second molar, it may damage the second molar or increase the risk of infection in that area. Impacted wisdom teeth don't always cause symptoms. However, when an impacted wisdom tooth becomes infected, damages other teeth or causes other dental problems, your dentist may advise you for its removal. #dental #ex
