Wisdom Teeth Removal in Columbus, IN
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars in the very back of your mouth. For most people, these teeth grow in between the ages of 15 and 25. Some people are lucky enough to have their wisdom teeth grow in without affecting their other teeth or misaligning their bite. However, for most people, wisdom teeth will either grow in at an angle that pushes other teeth, or become impacted, meaning they get trapped under the gum. Impacted teeth can cause pain and lead to infection. If you need your wisdom teeth removed or want a second opinion, please contact our office to schedule a consultation!
