Wisdom Teeth Removal

in Plano, TX

Extractions for a Healthier Smile

Wisdom teeth usually arrive in our late teens or early twenties, but they don’t always have enough room to fit comfortably! If they start causing aches or overcrowding, we’re here to help. At Preston Meadow Family Dentistry, we provide gentle care for wisdom teeth and coordinate with trusted specialists for more complex cases to ensure you’re always in the best hands.

Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Not everyone’s wisdom teeth need to be removed, but extraction may be necessary if they cause problems such as:

Wisdom teeth that don’t fully emerge or grow sideways, leading to pain and infection.

Limited space in the mouth can cause misalignment of surrounding teeth, leading to crowding which makes it’s harder to brush, floss, and properly bite. Signs include: Pain or swelling at the back of your mouth, red or swollen gums around the area, jaw pain or stiffness, difficulty opening your mouth.

Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria and food, increasing the risk of cavities and gum infections. Signs include: Pain or swelling at the back of your mouth or difficulty opening your mouth.

Impacted wisdom teeth can develop cysts or other complications that affect nearby teeth and jawbone. Signs include: Pain or swelling at the back of your mouth, red or swollen gums around the area, jaw pain or stiffness, difficulty opening your mouth.
