Why Brantford patients ask about wisdom teeth

We look at what can be seen clinically and what x-rays show below the gums, then explain whether monitoring, cleaning support, referral, or removal is the better next step.

No. Pain needs assessment first. The recommendation depends on the tooth position, gum health, infection risk, and whether the area can be cleaned well.
