Dental Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal
Facing the need for a dental extraction or wisdom teeth removal can feel daunting, but it’s a common and often necessary procedure to maintain your oral health. We prioritize your comfort and safety, ensuring each step of the process is handled with care and expertise. Whether it’s a troublesome wisdom tooth or a severely decayed tooth, we’re here to help.
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood. Unfortunately, these teeth often cause problems due to a lack of space in the jaw. Common issues include impaction, crowding, and infection. Removal is often recommended to avoid these complications and maintain overall oral health.
Signs You Might Need an Extraction
Recognizing the signs that you might need a dental extraction is crucial for timely treatment. Here are some common symptoms to look out for:
- Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Infection or pus around the tooth
- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
- Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste in the mouth
Assessing If An Extraction Is Necessary
The decision to proceed with a dental extraction is made after a thorough dental exam. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums, checking for signs of significant issues such as extensive decay, fractures, or infections. X-rays provide additional insight into the health of your teeth and jawbone, helping the dentist to make an accurate diagnosis. This professional evaluation allows us to determine if an extraction is required, ensuring that you receive the most suitable treatment for your dental health.
