Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. While some people experience no issues, many individuals encounter problems such as crowding, pain or infection. At Save Dental Orem, our experienced dentists and team provide wisdom teeth removal to help protect your oral health and prevent future complications.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal May Be Necessary
Wisdom teeth often do not have enough space to grow properly, leading to various dental issues. In some cases, they may become impacted, meaning they are trapped beneath the gumline or growing at an incorrect angle. This can cause discomfort and put pressure on surrounding teeth. Our dentists will assess your wisdom teeth and determine if extraction is necessary.
Some common reasons for wisdom teeth removal include:
- Pain and discomfort in the back of the mouth
- Crowding or shifting of other teeth
- Infection or gum inflammation
- Cysts or damage to surrounding teeth and bone
- Difficulty cleaning the area properly
Removing wisdom teeth can help prevent these complications and support long-term oral health.
Comfortable and Efficient Treatment
We prioritize patient comfort during wisdom teeth removal. Depending on your needs, we offer sedation options to help you feel relaxed throughout the process. Our dentists will provide personalized aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and reduce recovery time.
Following your procedure, you can expect some mild swelling and discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. We recommend sticking to soft foods, keeping the area clean and following all post-operative care guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
