If you have wisdom teeth poised to erupt, this could lead to serious trouble for your smile. The arrival of these third molars is linked to everything from dental misalignment to painful impactions. Which is why your team at Riverside Dental Group wants to remove your wisdom teeth before they have a chance to arrive and cause trouble.
The Impact of Wisdom Tooth Eruption
When these third molars erupt, there is often little room for them. Which means they can crowd teeth and create misalignment, altering the appearance of your smile. There could also be damage to nearby teeth and a higher risk of an infection. The wisdom teeth may only be able to partially erupt, which creates a painful impaction. When wisdom teeth erupt, this could even undo orthodontic results! To help prevent these issues and protect your smile, we can remove these teeth before they even erupt!
Planning the Tooth Extraction Process
We will start the process with detailed planning. With digital x-rays, we can comfortably peer into your smile to see the position of these teeth and better assess their risk. We can decide if they need extraction, and also plan the process in detail to ensure we avoid any contact with nerve tissues, blood vessels, or sinus cavities. We also numb the area directly with a local anesthesia, and will offer sedation to help you enter a deep state of calm and relaxation, often with no memory of the process.
Finally, we will open the gums above these teeth so we can access and remove them with a pair or forceps. The last step is to suture the area closed.
Helping Your Smile Heal
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and prescriptions for medications to aid in the healing process, so a clot can form and you can return to your normal routine in as little as two days. If you have any questions about how we help protect your smile by removing your wisdom teeth, then reach out to our team. Summer is a great time to have this done, so teens don’t miss school and start college with better oral health and no risk of wisdom tooth impaction!
