If <b>wisdom teeth<\/b> are allowed to come through, patients can experience painful crowding that pushes teeth out of alignment, or they can experience impaction. An impacted tooth will get stuck or emerge in whatever way it can. In both cases, it\u2019s possible for an infection, a cyst, or a tumor to develop around the tooth. In other cases, the tooth may come in sideways, backwards, or forwards.\r\n\r\nTo prevent this from happening, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/meet-dr-latner.html\">Dr. Latner<\/a> will start watching for the development of a young patient\u2019s <b>wisdom teeth<\/b> around the ages of 11 or 12. It\u2019s a good idea to have <b>wisdom teeth<\/b> removed close to the ages of 17 or 19, to prevent any of these complications from developing.\r\n\r\nNo one wants to have teeth extracted, of course, but with today\u2019s technology and a service like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">sedation dentistry<\/a>, the experience can be comfortable. What\u2019s more, the procedure can be completed in a single appointment.\r\n\r\nDoes someone in your family still have his or her <b>wisdom teeth<\/b>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">Call<\/a> <b>Dr. Latner\u2019s Los Angeles<\/b> dental office today to schedule a consultation appointment. During the appointment, our team at <b>Westside Dental Associates<\/b> can talk more about the importance of having <b>wisdom teeth<\/b> extracted. We can also tell you what to expect from the procedure.\r\n\r\nWe offer care to patients from <b>Los Angeles<\/b>, <b>Santa Monica<\/b>, <b>Beverly Hills<\/b>, <b>West LA<\/b>, <b>Mar Vista<\/b>, <b>Culver City<\/b>, <b>Rancho Park<\/b>, <b>Westwood<\/b>, <b>Brentwood<\/b>, <b>Venice<\/b>, <b>Marina<\/b> <b>del<\/b> <b>Rey<\/b>, <b>Playa<\/b> <b>Vista<\/b>, and nearby areas.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You have probably heard about wisdom teeth, but do you know what they are or why they need to be removed?
