Most people need to have their wisdom teeth (also known as 3rd molars) removed at some point in their life. They can cause pain and crowd healthy teeth, often resulting in decay and infection. The team at One Dental Studio often recommends our patients have their wisdom teeth extracted during their late teenage years or early 20s.
Do I Need My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
When wisdom teeth come in at an angle, this can affect the bite, create an area where food particles get caught, and cause decay or even an infection. Having wisdom teeth removed is an important step in keeping smiles healthy, straight, and decay-free.
Our doctors work together to determine if your or your teen's wisdom teeth will need to be removed through a complete oral exam and specialized x-ray imaging.
What Can I Expect When My Wisdom Teeth Are Removed?
Most of our Davie dental patients prefer to be sedated while their wisdom teeth are being removed. Our doctors will discuss your sedation dentistry options with you to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
On the day of your wisdom teeth extraction, you will need to bring someone with you who can drive you home after the procedure. Average extractions take less than an hour to complete!
