Is it necessary to remove the wisdom tooth? It's growing and the pain is killing me. I'm taking Surgam as medication for it.

Apr 25, 2014

2nd opinion

Dr. Rita Mouawie Dentistry

A wisdom tooth is just another molar.
Some reasons exist as to why you should extract it: limited jaw space, inclined axis, inflammation, etc.

To be sure if there is a real need for extraction, you should check with your dentist. But no, an imminent extraction is not always required.
