When to Consider Having Your Wisdom Teeth Removed 

Most people have their first and second molars. But not everyone has their third molars, better known as wisdom teeth. Some people have them removed due to the issues they can cause. Our dentists in Katy and Houston, TX, at Chloe Dental offer wisdom teeth removal if you need it for any of the following reasons.

Infections

Wisdom teeth sometimes emerge from the gums. But in other cases, they stay below the gumline, unable to erupt. This can cause the tissue in these areas to become infected. You might have this type of infection if you have pain and swelling in the gums around your wisdom teeth.

Crowding

When you don’t have enough room for all of your teeth, crowding can happen. Braces and other treatments can help correct this issue, but your wisdom teeth might make it worse. Having them removed frees up more space for your other teeth to fit comfortably.

Cysts

We might recommend wisdom teeth removal in Houston and Katy, TX, if you have any cysts forming due to impacted teeth. Without treatment, these cysts can become bigger and end up damaging your other teeth and your jawbone. Taking out impacted wisdom teeth helps prevent these complications.

Tooth Damage

If your wisdom teeth have fully erupted, they might make it harder to brush and floss your other molars. This puts these teeth at a higher risk of damage and decay, so we may recommend having those third molars removed.
