In this video, I'll be talking about why you would need to have your wisdom teeth removed, there
are usually three top reasons. First reason is that there's a large cavity or there's a food trap
present around the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are often our areas where you can not really
brush well or you can not floss well. And once you have them removed, it makes it so much easier
to clean around the other teeth you definitely want to keep in your mouth. Another reason would
be because of overcrowding, you know, people who have overcrowding, it's also very hard and
difficult to keep your teeth clean. And also if you're considering getting braces, we usually have
your wisdom teeth removed, to create a little bit of space to allow your teeth to move back. The
third option is usually if you have pressure or pain in your jaw, or around your TMJ, patients who
often tell me that they have headaches, migraines, or muscle ache around their jaw. Once they
have their wisdom teeth removed, they recover very well and they feel much better after the
procedure. Your wisdom teeth surgery will be done under IV sedation and your recovery will
depend on usually the factor of your age how healthy you are. And also if you follow the proper
instructions given by your dentist, you will also have a little bit of pain and swelling and bleeding
after the surgery, this is pretty common. We give you instructions on what to do what not to do.
And also on the difficulty of the surgery will also be dependent on how much pain you have after
the surgery and also the experience level of the dentist performing the surgery. People who are
considering having their wisdom teeth extracted often want to know what the price is, you know
this can vary widely depending on how many teeth you have present. Also what is the difficulty of
getting them removed? some wisdom teeth are fully impacted, some are partially impacted, some
are fully erupted. And also how long is this surgery going to take. So all of these can increase or
decrease the price of the surgery. If you're interested in getting your wisdom teeth removed,
