REASONS FOR THIRD MOLAR EXTRACTIONS
One of the primary reasons for third molar extractions is the risk of impaction. When the wisdom teeth do not fully emerge from the gum line, they can become impacted, which can lead to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may need to be removed to prevent further complications. Another reason for third molar extractions is overcrowding.
When there is not enough room in the mouth for the wisdom teeth to emerge properly, they can push against adjacent teeth, causing discomfort, misalignment, and other oral health problems.
