General Anaesthetic in Sleep Dentistry

Crowding: Wisdom teeth can crowd neighbouring teeth if there&rsquo;s insufficient space for them. This can disrupt previous orthodontic treatment that straightened the teeth and cause shifting.
Impaction: Wisdom teeth that are impacted (stuck beneath the gum line) can cause discomfort and infection and should be removed.
Damage: Wisdom teeth that come in at odd angles could cause damage to neighbouring teeth.
Cleanliness: If you can&rsquo;t reach your wisdom teeth to brush and floss them properly, it increases your chances of developing problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
