Wisdom Teeth & Extractions

Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner of the mouth and maybe at different stages of eruption and position of the impaction. Since wisdom teeth develop over a period of many years, harmful changes in your mouth may be gradual. But these changes could result in sudden and severe pain.

Like all teeth, wisdom teeth develop inside an opening (socket) in your jaw, protected by bone and gum tissue until they erupt. Over time, your wisdom teeth become more firmly anchored in your jawbone as their roots lengthen and the jawbone becomes denser. So the older you are, the more difficult it is to remove your wisdom teeth.

Reasons for Removal of Teeth:
  •  Gum disease
  •  Crowding
  •  Decay
  •   Poor position
  •   Cysts

    Risks and Complications:
  •   Numbness (Impacted Teeth)
  •   Dry Socket
  •   Infections
  •   Sinus Problems
    • Oral Surgery Procedures
