Impacted Wisdom Teeth
One of the reasons you might need to have your wisdom teeth removed is if they are impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth do not erupt properly and can cause your other teeth to shift and become crooked. Impacted wisdom teeth can also cause quite a bit of pain.
Partial Eruption and Infection
Wisdom teeth often do not fully erupt due to lack of space or impaction. When this happens, it forms pockets that are almost impossible to keep free of food and bacteria. The compromised gum tissue often becomes infected. If your wisdom teeth do not fit properly in your mouth, wisdom tooth extraction is necessary to prevent this infection.
