The main point of extracting these molars is to either correct an active problem or to prevent problems that may arise due to the growth of wisdom teeth. Some of the issues that may occur when these teeth try to grow in are:
- Wisdom teeth may become impacted when the jaw is not large enough for them to emerge from gums. Impacted teeth pose a risk for pain and infection.
- Sometimes these third molars break only partially through the gums. This can cause a flap of gum tissue to grow over the partially erupted tooth, allowing bacteria and germs to settle into small crevices. This causes gums to become inflamed and irritated with infection.
- Impacted wisdom teeth pose a risk to other teeth as well as to jaw bone should they become infected. Sometimes a cyst will occur in gum tissue surrounding an impacted wisdom tooth.
- Wisdom teeth do not always come in at the right angle. There is the possibility that a tooth may come in with the top facing the wrong direction or at an angle that pushes on another tooth.
