Often there are times that there may not be enough room in the patient’s mouth for wisdom teeth and, as they start to come out, they push against the teeth already there or may start to come out at an angle. When this happens, you might feel some pain or discomfort, so the best thing to do is to visit your dentist.

Your dentist will probably take an x-ray of your mouth to see how – or if – your wisdom teeth are coming outside. From this, they will be able to make a decision on whether or not to take them out, and how easy or difficult it might be. Extractions can also be done under sedation.
