Impacted teeth have to be extracted in order to reduce problems that are associated with them. This is an important factor to consider.
Additionally, it is also important to follow up on your dental exams to ensure that the dentist takes a look at your back teeth to ensure that none of them do become impacted and infected. When problems arise with impacted teeth, you may be facing extraction to ensure that further problems do not arise. When Impacted Teeth Should Be RemovedIf the teeth in the mouth are growing normally and not causing problems, they do not have to be removed. This includes the wisdom teeth. However, when the teeth become impacted in the gums, this can cause a wide array of issues. While the person may not experience any at first and the dentist finds that the teeth are impacted, they may recommend extraction before the problems begin. X-rays of the mouth can show whether or not the teeth are impacted and need to be removed. This is why it is important to have them done during cleanings. When problems do occur with impacted teeth, they will be removed to provide not only relief to the patient but also to reduce any other problems. Impacted teeth are highly likely to become infected if not taken care of. This is why it is important for the dentist to request an extraction of them.
