What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge during the late teens or early twenties. While some individuals may have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others experience problems due to limited space in the jaw. These issues can lead to pain, infection, and other complications.
Common Problems Associated with Wisdom Teeth
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth may remain trapped beneath the gumline or grow at an angle, pressing against other teeth.
- Overcrowding: Limited space in the jaw can cause misalignment of surrounding teeth.
- Decay and Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Cysts: Impacted wisdom teeth may lead to cysts or damage to the surrounding bone and roots.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
Wisdom teeth removal is a routine oral surgery performed to prevent or address complications. Our dentists will evaluate your oral health using advanced imaging to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend the best course of action.
- Anesthesia: The area will be numbed to ensure your comfort, and sedation options are available for added relaxation.
- Extraction: The wisdom teeth will be carefully removed with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
- Aftercare: Sutures may be placed to promote healing, and detailed aftercare instructions will be provided.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Prevents Pain: Reduces discomfort caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth.
- Protects Adjacent Teeth: Prevents damage and overcrowding of surrounding teeth.
- Reduces Oral Health Risks: Decreases the likelihood of infections and other complications.
