Wisdom Teeth Removal Made Easy in Addison!
Wisdom teeth removal has become almost a rite of passage for many young adults. Wisdom teeth are a type of molar that is found in the very back of your mouth. There are four wisdom teeth: upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. These teeth usually appear in late teens or early twenties. They are removed because they so commonly become impacted (fail to erupt) due to a lack of room in the jaw or the angle of entry.
These wisdom teeth can cause serious pain and other health concerns.
Let Us Remove Wisdom Teeth to Protect Your Health
If wisdom teeth removal does not occur when your wisdom teeth become impacted, you may develop gum tenderness, swelling, or even severe pain. Impacted wisdom teeth are susceptible to tooth decay, recurring infections, and even gum disease because they are very hard to clean.
Having the wisdom tooth extraction procedure can be much easier in the long run than the consequences of not having it done!
Generally wisdom tooth extraction occurs in the late teens or early twenties because there is a greater chance that the teeth’s roots have not fully formed and the bone surrounding the teeth is less dense. These two factors can make wisdom teeth removal easier.
Each patient’s wisdom tooth removal situation is unique, and we will take x-rays and discuss your particular wisdom tooth extraction needs with you. If we recommend wisdom teeth removal, it is best to have the wisdom tooth extraction happen sooner rather than later.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Patient Testimonial
“I was nervous about my appointment. Having my wisdom teeth removed. I had the bottoms removed years back and was petrified about the top ones. I just recently started going to this office and was very apprehensive about it all but the staff and Dr help me overcome my anxiety and I schedule the procedure. I was shocked how smoothly things went. They numbed me up pretty good because I never felt or saw a needle. I am pleased with the results and very thankful to the staff and the doctor to know I’m in Good Hands.”
