Wisdom TeethWisdom teeth are the molars that are farthest back in the mouth. These teeth are the last to grow into the mouth, usually after age 18. Wisdom teeth often become impacted-- they do not grow in properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause a myriad of problems, including gum disease, infection, decay, even tumors. To prevent potential problems, your Dentist will usually extract wisdom teeth at the first sign that they may be impacted.
InfectionYour Dentist will usually recommends an extraction in cases of severe infection, where restorative approaches will not save a tooth.
Routine ExtractionsModern dentistry makes routine tooth extractions relatively comfortable, painless procedures. For seven days after the extraction, your tooth socket will require some care. Your Dentist will instruct you to steer clear of the empty tooth socket when brushing your teeth. Some bleeding can be expected, your Dentist may prescribe pain medication for residual discomfort.
