Expert Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Pennsauken at Leading Smiles

Impacted wisdom teeth, which usually result in gum swelling, tooth misalignment, and gum discomfort, are a common complaint from dental patients. Leading Smiles provides wisdom teeth extraction in Pennsauken in such circumstances. Our team of knowledgeable and experienced dental specialists can offer a safe and comfortable removal of wisdom teeth.

Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need to Be Removed

Your third set of molars, known as wisdom teeth, typically appear in the late teens or early twenties, although the majority of people do not develop them. Since all of your other teeth have already erupted, wisdom teeth have little room in your mouth. Wisdom teeth often erupt incorrectly, which causes your other teeth to shift. Some don’t completely leave the gums (impacted), which can cause excruciating pain and swelling of the gums.

When your wisdom teeth start to erupt, our dentists may suggest having them pulled before they become impacted, change your bite, or affect the positions of your other teeth. A dentist or surgeon typically performs a wisdom teeth extraction, which is the surgical removal of your wisdom teeth.

When is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need to have your wisdom teeth extracted:

• Under your gums, your wisdom teeth are becoming impacted or trapped.

• Your wisdom teeth are erupting unevenly or crookedly.

• There’s a pain in the back of your mouth.

• You have cavities or deterioration in one of your wisdom teeth.

• Dental X-rays indicate that your wisdom teeth are likely to cause pain and other issues.

What Happens During Wisdom Teeth Extraction?

Dr. Gary or Gabrielle will examine and take dental X-rays of your wisdom teeth before the procedure. To make the procedure as comfortable as possible, we will also provide you with some sedative options.

After administering anesthesia, we will cut into the gums to expose your impacted wisdom teeth. The wisdom teeth are then carefully extracted from their sockets. We will carefully extract each wisdom tooth in smaller pieces for easier removal if your specific situation requires it. To stop the bleeding, we will use stitches to seal the wounds your wisdom teeth made in your gums.
