Understanding Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop. Some can be monitored; others may need removal because of symptoms or findings seen during an examination. The decision depends on the position and health of the teeth, not age alone.
Dr. Leung can review imaging and discuss whether monitoring, removal, or a referral is appropriate.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal may matter
What to consider
Knowing whether a wisdom tooth is causing a problem helps you weigh monitoring against treatment. You should understand the reason removal is being considered, how it may affect neighboring areas, and what follow-up could involve.
A conversation about your care
At Redwood Dental Inc, every new patient receives a complete exam and complete scan. We take time to discuss findings tooth by tooth, so you can understand the concern being addressed and ask about other reasonable options. Your care should fit your needs, not a generic treatment plan.
What to expect and how to decide
Dr. Leung can discuss your symptoms and review an examination and relevant imaging. If removal is recommended, ask about the proposed approach, aftercare, and whether a referral for surgical care would be appropriate.
Before making a decision, ask what the recommendation is intended to address, what the alternatives may be, how many visits could be involved, and what follow-up care might look like. The answer may change after a complete examination.
