Removing Wisdom Teeth Before They Can Cause Issues
The wisdom teeth, also referred to as the “third molars,” are the last set of teeth to emerge at the very back of the mouth. The truth about these teeth is, for most patients, they cause more trouble than they’re worth—and it’s often best to remove them as a preventive measure to ensure they can’t threaten your oral health. The best time to do this is during the teenage years, right before they begin erupting, but if you’re an adult and believe your wisdom teeth are beginning to cause issues, don’t hesitate to contact our Turlock dental office to schedule an appointment.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
The process for removing wisdom teeth is very straightforward. The mouth is fully numbed, and often, sedation dentistry is used to ensure comfort. The nature of the removal depends on how much the teeth have erupted; if they’re above the gumline, simple extraction with forceps can be used. If they’re still beneath the gums, surgical extraction will be used, and in many cases, the teeth are removed in sections to make things easier. Following the extraction, a brief recovery period is necessary.
