Dr. Lon Riemer is your St. Albert dentist, focusing on family dentistry, pediatric dentist and much more.

In many cases, wisdom teeth do not have room to grow into a healthy position in the gums and jaws. This leaves them prone to developing infection, contributing to gum disease, decaying of the adjacent tooth and crowding of the teeth. There are also cysts and tumors that can develop around impacted wisdom teeth that become stuck under the gums and bone.
