    Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:
    Your dentist or oral surgeon may order X-rays of your wisdom teeth to identify the relationship between them and surrounding teeth. X-rays also reveal how close your upper teeth are to your sinuses and your lower teeth to a nerve in your jaw. The X-rays may also detect infections, tumors, or disease.
