Wisdom teeth may seem harmless, but if left untreated, they can cause serious issues. An early evaluation and removal can help you avoid pain and long-term complications.

Here are some common problems wisdom teeth can cause:
🔹Impaction – Teeth trapped in the jaw can lead to pain, pressure, and infection.
🔹Infection – Partially erupted teeth are difficult to keep clean and can lead to decay or painful gum infections.
🔹Damage to nearby teeth – Impacted wisdom teeth can push on neighboring teeth, leading to crowding or bite misalignment.

✨ Take a proactive step today — schedule your wisdom teeth evaluation and protect your future smile.
