WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Experiencing discomfort or pain in the back of your mouth? Wisdom tooth removal might be the solution you need. At Affordable Dental, we understand the importance of addressing these concerns with precision and care. Essential information about wisdom tooth removal is provided here, ensuring patients are well-informed and comfortable with their dental health decisions.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually appearing in the late teens or early twenties. In many cases, these teeth can cause complications, such as misalignment, pain, or infection. Removal becomes necessary when they do not have enough room to grow properly, leading to impaction – a condition where the teeth are trapped beneath the gum or bone.
Patients may need wisdom tooth removal if they experience:
Pain or stiffness near the back of the mouth
Recurring infection in the soft tissue behind the lower last tooth
Gum disease or tooth decay if it’s hard to clean the area
Damage to nearby teeth or bone
Development of cysts or tumors around the wisdom tooth
