Tooth infection affecting the nerve, where root canal treatment is not suitable

Do My Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth may require removal if you experience:
-
Pain or swelling
-
Impacted teeth
-
Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene

Jaw pain
Before removal, our team will assess your wisdom teeth using a panoramic X-ray and may refer you for a cone beam CT scan to evaluate their position. We have an onsite CBCT machine for a thorough assessment.
