Wisdom Teeth Removal Yakima, WA

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually appearing in the late teens or early twenties. While some individuals may have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems that necessitate their removal. Dr. Bennett Packard, Dr. Mark Walker and Dr. Matthew Dunn provide expert wisdom teeth removal in Yakima, Washington, to help patients prevent complications and maintain optimal oral health. 

Why Wisdom Teeth May Need to Be Removed

Wisdom teeth often do not have enough space to grow in properly, leading to a range of potential issues. These can include impaction, where the teeth are trapped beneath the gumline, crowding or misalignment of adjacent teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can also cause pain, infection and damage to neighboring teeth or bone. Removing wisdom teeth before they cause significant problems is often recommended to avoid these complications.
