What does the process of removing wisdom teeth entail?
Wisdom teeth usually start to grow in during adulthood. However, if there isn't enough space for them to come in correctly, they can become impacted beneath the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infections, and damage to nearby teeth. It is recommended to have these molars removed as soon as they become problematic.
What are the reasons for needing Wisdom Teeth Removal?
The primary reason for requiring wisdom tooth extraction is due to the potential complications that can arise if the third molars are impacted and not removed. If left in place, wisdom teeth can become infected, decayed, and may even cause damage to surrounding teeth by pushing against them. This can lead to overcrowding and further dental issues. It is important to have wisdom teeth removed in a timely manner, as it is never too early or too late to address these concerns.
What type of person is a suitable candidate for Wisdom Teeth Removal?
To determine if wisdom tooth removal is necessary, a dental x-ray is the most effective method. This allows us to identify any impacted teeth and determine the best course of action for removal. If removal is needed, it is recommended to have the procedure done promptly. We will work with you to create a treatment plan based on the extractions required.
What occurs during the process of removing wisdom teeth?
The process of wisdom tooth removal begins with a consultation and examination, including x-rays of your teeth and mouth. If removal is necessary, we will schedule you for the procedure. You will be given a sedative of your choice before we make an incision through the gums to remove the wisdom tooth. The gums will then be sutured closed. This process will be repeated for any other wisdom teeth that need to be removed. Expect some pain and swelling in the days following the surgery.
