Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars. They are typically the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, and they usually come in during the late teen years or early twenties. In many cases, there is not enough room for wisdom teeth to erupt properly in the mouth and wisdom teeth extraction becomes necessary. If there is not enough room for wisdom teeth in the mouth, they may become misaligned or impacted (stuck in the gums and jaw). That unfortunately can lead to several serious issues, including the following dental problems:
- Damage to the adjacent teeth
- Damage to the jawbone
- Damage to the nerves
- Tooth decay
- Periodontal disease
- Swelling and stiffness
The skilled dentists at Young Family Dental can use X-rays to determine the positioning of wisdom teeth. If it is decided that they need to be removed, our dental team will ensure that the
wisdom teeth extraction is performed as painlessly and comfortably as possible. We recommend that individuals who are going away for a period time, such as for a mission or college, have a wisdom teeth extraction procedure done before leaving to prevent future dental problems.
We invite anyone who may be suffering from wisdom tooth pain to call any of our Utah dental offices in Riverton, American Fork, Saratoga Springs, or Orem today to learn more about wisdom teeth extraction or to schedule a personal consultation with one of our dentists. Our team has performed wisdom teeth extraction for thousands of patients and we are highly experienced and effective in this treatment.
