Understanding Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, served our ancestors well for chewing tough foods. However, in today’s diet of softer foods, these teeth often become more of a liability than an asset. Leaving them in can lead to various issues, including gum disease, infection, tooth decay, and even misalignment of surrounding teeth. At Memphis Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Group, we emphasize the importance of timely wisdom teeth removal to maintain optimal oral health.
Our team understands that the decision to undergo wisdom teeth removal can be daunting. However, we assure you that early removal significantly reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster healing. By removing wisdom teeth before they fully develop, patients can experience a smoother recovery process and avoid potential dental problems down the road. Our expert oral surgeons guide patients through every step of the process, ensuring they feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their decision.
