With age, comes wisdom teeth and depending on the individual, this can be a problem. Wisdom teeth are known as the third molars and usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. If wisdom teeth don’t erupt, they can remain impacted which means that they will stay under the gum unless removed. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, and infection, so allow our doctors at Downtown Dental LLC to explain what to expect from extraction.
Wisdom teeth removal is extremely common and our doctors promise to make you feel as comfortable as possible during the procedure. Once sedation is administered, an incision will be made into the gums and the teeth will be removed in sections. This procedure is outpatient, but you will need to take a few days off to rest and heal. Our doctors will give you post-op instructions to follow for a smooth recovery.
If you have questions or concerns regarding wisdom teeth extraction, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.downtown-dental.com for more information.
