Basically, teeth develop in sacs resting deep in the bone. The sac disappears when the tooth comes through the jaw normally.

As the cyst expands it pushes against the bone and roots of other teeth as well as the nerves in the area causing major harm. In rare instances, a tumor can develop in the wall of the cyst and may require more complicated surgery. Potential For Trouble: Silent Danger or innocent victim! Although surgeons have seen many complications with wisdom teeth and millions are removed every year because of the following reasons as described bellow, but we are at present time studying to see if there is a scientific basis to predict the possibility of these condition happenin
