There are many benefits to having your wisdom teeth removed. In some cases, they may need to be removed to support orthodontic treatment or protect healthy development. By extracting these third molars, you avoid:
If your wisdom teeth are causing problems, Dr. Kaady can perform a safe, gentle removal. It will protect your oral health and prevent future complications. Throughout your procedure, we will ensure your utmost comfort. Sedation is available if necessary.
If the teeth are impacted, he will refer you to a trusted specialist to perform the more complicated extraction.
After your procedure, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal smoothly. Resting for at least 24 hours is essential to allow protective blood clots to form, supporting a comfortable and complication-free recovery.
Wisdom teeth are third sets of molars which grow in the back of the mouth. They usually grow after the rest of your permanent teeth do. It can be possible for the wisdom teeth to break through without any problems for some.
In other cases the available space may be insufficient for the teeth, and the wisdom teeth can emerge only halfway to the gums, under the gums and thus also tilted and about their neighbours molars. We will determine position and condition for you.
A wisdom tooth will be removed with the use of local anesthesia, this should numb the surrounding gum tissue. During the extraction itself, you may feel some pressure but no sharp pain. Soreness or tenderness is likely to occur around the area of your wisdom teeth once the surrounding gum starts to heal.
Fortunately, after the procedure takes place, the dentist will advise on simple steps to make the area as comfortable as possible for you. If you are an apprehensive patient and need something to help relax you, then the topic of sedatives should be discussed with the dentist before the operation takes place.
The team at Bridgetown Dental focuses on a conservative, patient friendly approach to the management of wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth often come to mind for teenagers and young adults but they are a lifelong issue for some as well. Wisdom teeth may occasionally be more straightforward to remove in teenagers and young adults if the roots have not entirely completed growth, however individual patient growth and treatment should always be a factor when developing an extraction plan.
Don’t wonder if wisdom tooth extraction is really right for you-whether you have wisdom tooth pain or just know they’re impacted. Bridgetown Dental will evaluate your wisdom teeth, walk you through the different possible ways to manage your wisdom teeth, and decide if observation, in-office wisdom tooth removal, or a referral to a specialist is the best choice for you. A dental exam is a necessary step toward identifying whether your wisdom teeth are the cause of your pain, or if an alternative explanation should be explored.
