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.
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.
We’ll start with a quick chat and X-rays to see how your wisdom teeth are settling in and if they need a little help moving along.
We use numbing and offer a cozy variety of comfort items to make sure you feel completely at ease throughout your visit.
For most cases, we’ll take care of your extraction right here in our office. If your case is a bit more complex, we’ll hand-pick a trusted local oral surgeon for referral.
Support During Healing: We’ll send you home with simple, easy-to-follow tips to make sure your recovery is smooth, speedy, and comfortable.
