extraction necessary?

Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars that usually emerge in the late teens or early twenties. They can often cause problems due to insufficient space in the mouth, leading to impaction or misalignment. They are also prone to infection and decay as they are located at the back of the mouth and are more difficult to clean.
