While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, dentists and oral surgeons often suggest it in the following situations: 1. Impaction – If your wisdom teeth are impacted (trapped beneath the gums or growing at an angle), they can lead to pain, swelling, or infection. In such cases, wisdom teeth removal is typically necessary to avoid complications. 2. Overcrowding – When there isn’t enough space in your jaw, wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment. This is especially important if you've had orthodontic treatment. Removing wisdom teeth helps prevent shifting. 3.
