Wisdom teeth: friend or foe? We’ve all seen the funny videos online of patients acting silly after laughing gas while recovering from wisdom teeth extraction. Wisdom teeth are little more complicated than what’s in the eye. How can wisdom teeth impact our oral health?
Over time, the human jaw has evolved to the point where we no longer have uses for the wisdom teeth. More often than not, wisdom teeth can result in dental complications. Those that have a jaw that can support all four wisdom teeth without complications are both lucky and rare.

Overall, most dentists would recommend extracting your wisdom teeth, especially if it is causing you pain.
