It is not wise to put off having wisdom teeth removed if they are found to be impacted. The longer you wait, the more severe the symptoms become, and the more danger your oral health is placed in. As your wisdom teeth continue to attempt to erupt, they can put pressure on your other teeth, which can lead to damage and overcrowding. If a cyst has developed, it can destroy the jawbone and harm the roots of your teeth. Moreover, the longer you wait, the more complicated the removal process becomes.
