If a wisdom tooth is impacted, it is in a more angled position and will need to be sectioned into pieces when being extracted. For teeth that are not yet erupted, Dr. Klausner must make an incision in the tissue before accessing the impacted tooth.
In addition, we also have to consider the root anatomy of wisdom teeth. A typical wisdom tooth has multiple roots. Wisdom teeth can be shaped in a variety of ways. And while they initially grow as separate teeth, some will fuse together. Wisdom teeth are located relatively close to a nerve, and their removal may be further complicated when the roots or the teeth themselves are irregularly shaped.
