What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Will It Be Necessary To Remove My Wisdom Teeth?
If their position or the available space is not sufficient, then often the tissue or gums form a less than ideal relationship. This often leads to difficultly cleaning and in some instances allows for infection to develop. In some cases, because wisdom teeth can be very difficult to clean it can lead to decay. More troubling is that often it not only leads to decay on the wisdom tooth, but also the neighboring second molar.
In select cases a wisdom tooth may not need removal and the tissues can be readapted with a laser to allow for ideal cleaning and oral hygiene. This procedure is called an operculectomy.
