Another reason to have a wisdom tooth removed preventively. This patient is in his 60s who has this impacted wisdom tooth covered with tartar (black/ brown in the picture). The tartar is filled with bacterial colonies that causes inflammation and bone breakdown. Just because the wisdom tooth is asymptomatic, does not mean it's not problematic. Get your wisdom teeth evaluated by an oral surgeon!!!
