Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal at At Georgia Dental Group

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Unfortunately, many people don't have enough room for their wisdom teeth to erupt properly, which can lead to various problems. At At Georgia Dental Group, we specialize in wisdom teeth removal to protect your oral health and prevent future complications.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

Wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they are trapped beneath the gums or bone. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause a variety of issues, including:

• Pain and Swelling: Impacted teeth can cause significant pain, swelling, and tenderness in the jaw.
• Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are more susceptible to infection, which can spread to surrounding tissues.
• Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, causing damage or misalignment.
• Cysts: In rare cases, cysts can develop around impacted wisdom teeth.
• Difficulty Cleaning: Wisdom teeth that are partially erupted or misaligned can be difficult to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process at At Georgia Dental Group

• Consultation and Evaluation: We'll examine your wisdom teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your options. We'll determine if your wisdom teeth need to be removed and create a personalized treatment plan.
• Anesthesia: We offer various anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during the procedure, including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and IV sedation. We'll discuss which option is best for you.
• Tooth Extraction: We'll carefully remove your wisdom teeth. In some cases, the teeth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal.
• Stitches: Dissolvable stitches may be placed to help control bleeding and promote healing.
• Recovery: We'll provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help you manage any discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.

Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal after wisdom teeth removal.

• We'll prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort.
