Due to lack of space, this wisdom tooth was coming through at an angle rather than growing straight. This was making it difficult to clean and causing a condition where the gums around the wisdom tooth becomes painful and inflamed (pericoronitis).
This upper wisdom tooth was removed quickly and easily under local anaesthetic.
