If you or your child are between the ages of 16 and 20, it may be time to think about wisdom teeth extraction. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars located at the back of the mouth. While these teeth do not cause problems for everyone, they often do not have enough room to grow in properly. This can lead to them becoming impacted or pushing against other teeth, causing various dental issues.
Common problems associated with wisdom teeth include pain, infection and damage to adjacent teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to crowding, making it difficult to clean and increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Cysts can also form around impacted wisdom teeth, potentially causing damage to the jawbone and surrounding structures.
Our experienced dentists and team are here to monitor the development of your wisdom teeth. Through routine exams and dental X-rays, we can determine the best time to remove these teeth, often before they cause pain or other complications. Early removal is recommended to avoid potential issues and promote better long-term oral health.
At Mosaic Dental, your comfort and care are our top priorities. Our dentists and team use advanced techniques to ensure that wisdom teeth extractions are as quick and pain-free as possible. We offer sedation options to help you feel at ease during the procedure. After the extraction, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth and swift recovery.
