Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth in the back of your mouth. Usually between the ages of 17 and 25, these teeth erupt in late adolescence or early adulthood. Many people have no problems with their wisdom teeth. Others, on the other hand, may experience pain, infection, or possible harm to neighboring teeth because of becoming impacted or misaligned. Wisdom teeth extraction may be required to maintain your oral health and avoid future issues if your wisdom teeth are uncomfortable or creating other dental issues.
Wisdom teeth removal is indicated when they are impacted, which means they do not have enough space to emerge correctly. Tooth decay, gum disease, infection, and even misalignment of neighboring teeth can result from impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth can occasionally partially erupt, trapping food and bacteria and causing pain and illness. To avoid crowding or damage, the teeth may also need to be removed if they are developing at strange angles or pressing against adjacent teeth. To decide if removal is the best course of action for you, your dentist at Zen Dentistry will evaluate your condition using X-rays and a comprehensive examination.
At Zen Dentistry, our expert team performs a simple and normal wisdom tooth extraction treatment. To guarantee your comfort throughout the process, we will go over your sedative options prior to the surgery. These alternatives can include local anesthetic or more extensive options like intravenous sedation. The impacted or troublesome wisdom teeth are meticulously extracted throughout the surgery, reducing discomfort and guaranteeing a speedy recovery. Our staff will give thorough post-operative care instructions following the removal to help minimize swelling and guarantee appropriate recovery. While complete recovery could take a few weeks, most patients recover in a few days with little to no downtime. Wisdom teeth extraction can help you regain your oral health and avoid future dental problems if you take the right care of it.
