The worst possible time to have to deal with a dental emergency is when you are already at your most self-conscious. Unfortunately, that is when your wisdom teeth are most likely to grow.

If left to their own devices, these molars can wreak serious havoc on your smile.

This pressure can be strong enough to even crack your teeth, so this is not a concern to take lightly.

Today, your Cerritos, CA dentist explains the importance of tracking wisdom tooth growth in order to best protect your mouth. And if surgery is necessary for you, what you should expect!
