Why does Dr.
Leslie recommend wisdom teeth be removed?
 Wisdom teeth
usually appear in young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. Some
wisdom teeth will grow in normally; others are "impacted." An impacted
wisdom tooth allows no room for the rest of your teeth to grow. Dr. Leslie
uses X-rays to evaluate whether your wisdom teeth have any chance of
coming in properly and can advise you on the best time to have wisdom
tooth removal.When there is no room for wisdom teeth
to come in properly or when the teeth haven't reached their permanent
location by age 25, then they're considered to be impacted wisdom teeth.
Dr. Leslie recommends removing the tooth early, before wisdom tooth and
other dental complications can develop.
