It is rare for a person to have enough room for their wisdom teeth, and as a result, they tend to grow in impacted. This can be uncomfortable! What does "impacted" mean? It means the your wisdom teeth are pushing your other teeth forward trying to create room for themselves. As a result, this creates spaces for food to become trapped; it can also increase your risk of infection and decay. This is why we often recommend that our patients have their wisdom teeth removed. At Spanish Fork Dentistry, we can examine your teeth and mouth, take X-rays, and let you know if and when you (or your child) should schedule an appointment to have your wisdom teeth removed.
