What Can Happen if You Don’t Remove
Your Wisdom Teeth?
Most adults develop 32 teeth, but the human mouth typically only has space for 28. When wisdom teeth emerge—usually between ages 17-25—this space shortage creates significant oral health risks that often require professional intervention.
If left unaddressed, you will most likely experience pain in your jaw and gums, and face the following:
- Recurrent infections
- Damage to your neighboring teeth
- Bone and gum disease
- Tumors
In rare cases, patients may have their wisdom teeth healthfully emerge upright and avoid complications of impaction or crowding. However, their location at the very back of the mouth make these teeth incredibly difficult to clean and maintain so risks of future infection, decay and gum disease remain present.
For this reason, our board-certified team at Bergen Oral Surgery recommends you remove your wisdom teeth sooner rather than later.
What Our Patients are Saying
Only wish I could leave a 10-star review for Dr. Feuerstein and the staff. I had my remaining three wisdom teeth removed all at once yesterday. The whole experience was so pleasant and efficient. Dr. Feuerstein explained all the details prior to the procedure, and then I was put to sleep. The whole procedure lasted about an hour and I felt no pain after waking up and the following day (without taking any pain killers). The billing department is also great. They are very transparent about the charges with a clear breakdown of costs and proactively contacted my insurance company to get pre-authorization. The whole experience was stress-free, highly recommended!
I had such a great experience getting my wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Irene Shuman was so kind and supportive during the day of my surgery, especially because I was very nervous having never had any kind of dental work or surgery before. She was super knowledgeable and made me feel relaxed and comfortable before being put under. And during recovery, she answered all of my questions and helped me through the process. I’m so glad I was finally able to get this surgery done and it was with the best office I could have found!
What a pleasant experience if you can have a pleasant experience in having a wisdom tooth extracted. Dr Han and his staff made me feel comfortable and confident about my procedure. They answered my questions. The whole process took less than an hour. After the anesthetic wore off I was in no pain and had no swelling. I highly recommend him and his team!
