What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, usually appearing in your late teens or early twenties. These teeth often don't have enough room to grow properly, leading to a variety of issues. While not everyone needs them removed, many do because of pain, crowding, or complications from impaction.
Some of the most common problems include:
- Pain or swelling at the back of the mouth
- Shifting of nearby teeth
- Infections or cysts around the tooth
- Difficulty brushing and flossing, increasing the risk of decay
Do I Need a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
If you're experiencing jaw discomfort or a dentist has expressed concern about your wisdom teeth during a routine exam, you might need a closer look. We use advanced diagnostic tools like digital x-rays and CBCT scans to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth with precision. We will take the time to explain exactly what's happening and why extraction may be beneficial so you feel comfortable and informed before moving forward.
Wisdom tooth extraction may be recommended if:
- The tooth is impacted (stuck below the gum line)
- There is crowding of adjacent teeth
- You have pain, infection, or cysts in the area
- The teeth are difficult to clean, leading to decay or gum problems
Our Reliable Sedation Options
We understand that dental procedures can cause anxiety, especially when it comes to wisdom tooth removal. Our practice offers oral conscious sedation for patients who need a little extra help relaxing during treatment. This method allows you to remain awake but deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure. It's a safe and effective way to make your visit smoother and more manageable, especially for more complex wisdom teeth removal cases.
Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQs
We know that a tooth extraction can bring some patients anxiety. Our team is happy to answer all your questions and address your concerns once you've arrived at our practice. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding wisdom teeth removal:
Not necessarily. Some people have enough space for their wisdom teeth to grow in without any issues. However, many develop complications that make removal the healthiest option.
You can expect some swelling and discomfort for a few days, but most people feel back to normal within a week. We will give you detailed post-op instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Between the late teens to early twenties is the most common timeframe. The roots are not fully developed at that age, making the procedure easier and recovery faster. However, you may still have your wisdom teeth removed at a later age, especially if they are causing problems for your oral health.
With proper anesthesia and optional sedation, we do our best to maximize your comfort during the treatment. Some post-operative discomfort is normal, but it's generally manageable with rest and medication.
Our dentist will provide aftercare instructions that will benefit your healing process. Here are some of the tips we recommend:
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling
- Use saline water to gently rinse out the gum
- Elevate the head as much as possible to decrease bleeding
- Eat foods that require less chewing
- Brush and floss your teeth as you normally do, but avoid the extraction site
- Limit activity for 24-48 hours
