Wisdom Teeth Removal

Teens who have wisdom teeth developing may be told they need to have them taken out. If your wisdom teeth are beginning to bother you, you may be advised to have them removed. Oftentimes, one of the first signs that wisdom teeth need to be removed is the pain and tenderness they cause. You may feel like your mouth is sore and tender or you may even experience pain relating to these teeth.

A consultation will help us determine how and when to remove your wisdom teeth. For simple extractions, local anesthetic is all that is required. For more complicated wisdom teeth removal, we may recommend full sedation to make the procedure much more comfortable for you. Dr. B then starts by creating a small incision through the gums to remove the underlying tooth. The gums will be sutured and you’ll be taken to a recovery room to fully wake up. You will need someone else with you to bring you home from the appointment and will be given important post-op care instructions that should be followed while at home.

If you think you may need to have one or all of your wisdom teeth removed and are ready to come in for a consultation appointment, call us today and we can answer your questions.
