Seems like just about everyone has his or her wisdom teeth removed. But is it absolutely necessary for you to do so? The short answer to that question is it depends.

The dentists at Central Dental Associates will be able to help you decide whether or not wisdom teeth extraction is the correct treatment option for your smile and healthy mouth.
