Extraction of Wisdom Tooth – When to Avoid?

If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, it doesn’t mean that you have to extract it. The decision to extract an impacted wisdom tooth or not depends on various factors.

In children, the assessment usually focuses on whether the wisdom tooth can erupt and fit into the dental arch. In adult patients, the decision considers the presence of any discomfort or complications caused by the wisdom tooth, and the patient’s age also plays a significant role.
