The average mouth is big enough to house only 28 teeth, which accounts for all adult teeth up to the second molars. Unfortunately, wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that often cause a host of oral health issues because patients' mouth aren't big enough to allow for proper growth. When a mouth is too small to accommodate wisdom teeth, the molars typically grow in at an odd angle which threatens the health of your other teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause infection, the growth of cysts, and can even crowd your other teeth, forcing them into misalignment.

Early wisdom teeth removal can prevent all of these issues, and is as easy as visiting a qualified oral surgeon. When you come to Oral Surgery Specialists of Atlanta, our doctors will examine your condition and health history, evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth, and develop a personalized plan for extraction.
