Wisdom Teeth: The Molars That Think They Know Everything!
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, many find these latecomers can cause significant dental problems.
Why Extract Wisdom Teeth?
Impacted Teeth:
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough space to emerge properly, leading to impaction. Impacted teeth can become trapped in your jaw or gums, causing pain and swelling.
Crowding and Misalignment:
As wisdom teeth push against your existing molars, they can cause crowding and misalignment, undoing years of orthodontic work and affecting your smile’s appearance.
Increased Risk of Infection:
Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets that trap food and bacteria, leading to infections and gum disease.
Tooth Decay:
Located at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth are harder to clean, making them more susceptible to cavities and decay.
Benefits of Early Extraction
Preventive Care:
Removing wisdom teeth before they cause problems can prevent pain, infections, and the need for more complicated procedures later.
Easier Recovery:
Younger patients generally recover more quickly and with fewer complications than older adults.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The extraction process is straightforward:
Consultation: Our experienced dentists will evaluate your teeth with X-rays to determine the best course of action.
Procedure: Performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, the extraction is usually completed in one visit.
Aftercare: Following post-operative care instructions, such as rest, proper oral hygiene, and dietary adjustments, ensures a smooth recovery.
