At our office, we’re pretty pragmatic about our wisdom tooth removals, and I really give the patient the option. So there are some cases where I say, “Yeah, you should really have your wisdom teeth taken out,” and there are some cases where I say, “Well, that’s really up to you if you wanna do it,” but informing patients of the risks that come along with leaving them in or the risks that come along with taking them out and allowing them to be a partner in the decision-making process of getting your wisdom teeth taken out. We generally have a schedule set up that we can accommodate pretty much any time that you need to get that taken care of, and we offer a lot of sedation options to make it so it can be not as scary and as comfortable as possible.
Avoid Dental Problems by Extracting Wisdom Teeth
Your wisdom teeth usually begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. However, not everyone has theirs removed right away. Whether yours are just emerging, or you never had yours removed, you may benefit from extracting these teeth. Because of the location of these third molars, they can be difficult to keep clean. So you may be more prone to cavities and gum disease. Wisdom teeth can also crowd your other teeth, leading to unwanted shifts in their position.
Your dentists understand that needing dental surgery can seem overwhelming. Our team will make sure you feel at ease throughout the entire procedure. it’s important to us that you know what’s involved. Here is what you can expect:
