Who Needs to Remove Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Treatments other than Removal
In certain cases, cutting back the gum instead of impacted teeth removal works. In majority of cases, however, impacted wisdom teeth must be removed by operation. For more information visit http://www.healthysmiles.com.au/general-treatments/wisdom-teeth.html
