Tooth Extraction and Wisdom Teeth Removal at Newcomb Dental
Tooth removal or extraction is sometimes necessary to reduce pain, avoid future health problems, or make space for orthodontic treatment. While teeth are only removed in cases of extensive damage, decay, overcrowding, or infection, wisdom tooth extraction is a relatively common procedure at Newcomb Dental.
Why Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
This treatment is ideal for people who do not have enough space in their mouth for wisdom teeth to erupt properly. At Newcomb Dental, we provide safe and effective extraction procedures with minimal impact on other teeth and parts of your mouth.
What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, sometimes referred to as third molars, are the molars at the very back of your mouth that often erupt between the ages of 17 and 20. While wisdom teeth can erupt without causing problems, they are associated with a wide range of oral health issues, including:
- Overcrowding due to the late arrival of wisdom teeth.
- Gum disease and decay.
- Impaction when the teeth don’t align with the natural jawline.
Depending on the size of the teeth and the age of the patient, wisdom tooth extraction at Newcomb Dental may require sedation and referral to an oral surgeon.
What’s Involved in a Tooth Extraction?
The process of removing a tooth varies depending on the individual tooth and the reason for removal. Here’s what to expect:
- Simple Extractions: Some teeth can be pulled out in a relatively simple procedure with a local anesthetic.
- Surgical Extractions: Others may require incisions to the mouth or the services of a dedicated oral surgeon. If a general anesthetic is required, additional risks and expenses may be involved.
Before recommending a wisdom tooth extraction procedure, we conduct a detailed examination of your mouth and provide you with options tailored to your specific condition. Dentists carefully assess your mouth’s X-ray to determine the positioning of your wisdom tooth and whether an incision is required.
