WHY MIGHT WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL BE NECESSARY?
Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended when these third molars cause pain, infection, or alignment problems. As the last teeth emerge, wisdom teeth can sometimes become impacted, meaning they don't fully emerge through the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various dental issues, including infection, cavities, gum disease, and even damage to nearby teeth. Our experienced dentists will assess your situation and determine if removal is best for you.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
Here is the procedure for wisdom teeth removal:
-
Local anesthesia: Before beginning the wisdom teeth removal procedure, local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area. This ensures that you do not feel pain during the extraction. The anesthetic is carefully applied to provide comfort throughout the procedure.
-
Loosening the tooth: Once the area is numb, specialized dental instruments gently loosen the wisdom tooth from its socket. This step allows for a smoother extraction and reduces unnecessary pressure on the surrounding teeth and gums.
-
Extraction: After the wisdom tooth is adequately loosened, it is carefully removed from the mouth. Sometimes, the tooth is broken into smaller pieces for easier extraction. This method helps protect the surrounding tissue and speeds up the process.
-
Sedation options: Sedation options are available for patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during dental procedures. Sedation can help you feel at ease throughout the wisdom teeth removal process.
-
Post-procedure care: Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing following the wisdom teeth removal procedure. These instructions will include proper pain management, guidelines for eating and drinking, and tips to reduce swelling.

FAQ
Some of the most commonly asked questions about tooth extraction are:
​
Why Might a Tooth Extraction Be Necessary?
A patient may need a tooth removed if it is infected, the surrounding bone is damaged, or the tooth is causing discomfort. Since tooth removal is not the ideal option for teeth, our dentists will consult with you to determine whether or not an extraction is necessary.
​
What Happens During a Tooth Extraction Procedure?
The extraction procedure begins with a local anesthetic to freeze the area during your appointment. Our dentists then use dental tools to loosen the tooth from its socket. Once it is loosened, the dentist can remove it from your mouth.
​
When Is It Necessary to Remove a Wisdom Tooth?
Many times, wisdom teeth are removed because they affect the jaw, gums, and/or teeth in the surrounding area.
​
Your wisdom teeth may also be impacted, so they cannot erupt fully. This can lead to bacteria and food getting trapped in the area, which causes decay, infection, and pain.
​
When Should I Get My Wisdom Teeth Extracted?
Since every patient is different, please consult your dentist if your wisdom teeth are causing you discomfort.
