Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Some wisdom teeth stay healthy and have enough space. Others crowd, partially erupt, or become difficult to clean. An exam and imaging determine whether removal is recommended.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Antelope & Sacramento, CA
Wisdom teeth can stay quiet for years or start to crowd, inflame, or decay. Sacramento Dental Medicine evaluates them in-house and handles removal when that is the healthier next step.
