How do I know if I need a wisdom tooth extraction?

Wisdom teeth often need to be removed when they are impacted (trapped beneath the gum), growing at an angle, causing crowding, or leading to infection or decay. Common symptoms include pain or swelling in the back of the mouth, difficulty opening your jaw, and swollen or bleeding gums. We use X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend extraction when necessary to protect your oral health.
