Wisdom Tooth Extractions Magnolia
Keeping Wisdom Teeth Problems at Bay
Wisdom teeth, which are the third molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties, are the last teeth to develop. When the jaw doesn't have space to accommodate them, they can become impacted, meaning they are unable to fully erupt through the gum line. This can lead to a range of problems, including pain, infection, crowding, and damage to neighboring teeth. In some cases, wisdom teeth do come in without issue, but for many patients, extracting them ends up being the best option for their oral wellness.

The Wisdom Tooth Process
On the day of your appointment, the area will be thoroughly numbed, and sedation is available for patients who would like a more relaxed experience. The removal process varies depending on whether the tooth has fully erupted or is impacted beneath the gum line. Impacted teeth require a small incision in the gum tissue to access and remove the tooth in sections if necessary. The recovery typically spans a few days, during which some swelling, soreness, and minor bleeding are normal. We'll send you home with thorough aftercare instructions and will be available to answer any questions that come up as you heal.
