Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge, and many people don’t have enough space in their jaw for them. This often leads to complications, making extraction the best solution.
Common Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Removal

🦷 Cyst Formation – Impacted teeth can develop cysts that damage surrounding structures.
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
