What are the Advantages of Wisdom Teeth Extraction?

Wisdom teeth or “third molars” are the last of your adult teeth to grow in, and they can occasionally cause a variety of oral health problems. The most common problem is that there isn’t room for these other teeth. That can cause these late-developing molars to grow in at an odd angle or crowd your other teeth. They can also inhibit jaw movement. In some cases, these teeth do not break through the gum line and develop under your gum tissues instead. It is called “impaction,” and it can injure tissues, nerves, bones, and other underlying structures, leading to discomfort and more complicated symptoms.

Extracting your wisdom teeth is a standard procedure that can stop complications from these late-developing teeth from affecting your life. Dr. Jifri brings a gentle, conservative hand to every treatment, and she can ease any concerns you may have before beginning treatment.

Does Wisdom Teeth Extraction Hurt?

Depending on the state of your wisdom teeth, the extraction process will look a little different. If the teeth have grown through the gums, they can be removed by simply pulling the tooth. Using a local anesthetic to anesthetize the area, Dr. Jifri can safely pull the tooth without surgery. For impacted teeth, Dr. Jifri will need to numb the entire area before treatment. That will allow her to access your tooth through your gums painlessly.

After treatment, you’ll be sent home with clear, simple instructions for keeping the area clean and free of infection. After a brief healing period, you’ll be able to return to life as usual.
