Even erupted third molars can be prone to disease. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) is well-qualified to regularly assess a patient’s third molar status or, if necessary, to remove problem wisdom teeth. When it comes to wisdom teeth, pain-free does not mean problem-free. Visit MyOMS.org for more information.
