Wisdom teeth extraction is a common dental procedure but can often be surrounded by questions and concerns. At Open Door Family Dentistry, we specialize in providing safe, effective and comfortable wisdom teeth removal services. Our experienced team understands the nuances of this procedure and is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and reassuring experience for our patients.
Wisdom teeth extraction involves the removal of one or more of the four adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. Typically, these teeth emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and can sometimes cause problems, such as overcrowding, misalignment or becoming impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally). Removing wisdom teeth can prevent these issues and promote better oral health.
Common Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Extractions:
- Pain and Discomfort: Wisdom teeth can cause pain if they grow in improperly or become impacted.
- Overcrowding: They can push against other teeth, causing misalignment or overcrowding.
- Infection or Gum Disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create openings for bacteria, leading to infection or gum disease.
- Cysts: Cysts can form around new teeth, potentially damaging jaws and other teeth.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Before your wisdom teeth extraction, we will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the best course of action. We will discuss anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during the procedure. It is important to follow any pre-operative instructions, such as fasting before anesthesia, and to arrange for someone to drive you home afterwards.
