Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Your third set of molars called wisdom teeth may erupt and grow at varying angles in the jaw, sometimes even horizontally. They may also partially emerge through your gums, creating a pathway for nasty bacteria that can lead to gum disease or oral infection. Your wisdom teeth may also remain completely hidden. Wisdom teeth that aren’t able to emerge normally become trapped within your jaw. People refer to this condition as “impacted wisdom teeth”.
Repeated Oral Infections or Pain Could Be a Sign
Wisdom teeth extractions may be recommended by your AXIS Dental Group Dental Professional especially if you experience pain, repeated infections, gum disease, cysts or extensive tooth decay. Don’t delay treatment.
The decision to remove or extract wisdom teeth isn’t always an easy one for you to make. That’s why you can rely on your AXIS Dental Group Dental Professional to complete a thorough oral exam and take low radiation x-rays before offering treatment options. If extraction is recommended, the procedure will be performed in our office, under appropriate anesthesia. We offer all levels of sedation (sleep dentistry) to maximize your comfort.
