My brother in the US got an xray showing his wisdom teeth are growing abnormally - 3 teeth with 2 in weird positions. The doctors there recommended removal surgery. He's coming to Mumbai in September for treatment. Is surgery the only option here? Who would be the best specialist to consult for this in Mumbai?

Wisdom teeth surgery is typically the best option for abnormal growth or positioning, especially if they cause pain or potential dental complications. In Mumbai, top oral surgeons or maxillofacial specialists can assess your brother‚Äôs case. Look for experts at dental hospitals like Dr. Kothari‚Äôs Dental Clinic or Smile Essentials.
