Safely Remove Your Wisdom Teeth with Expert Care
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth located at the back of your mouth. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, for many, these teeth can cause problems such as pain, infection, or alignment issues. At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, we specialize in safe and effective wisdom teeth removal to alleviate pain, prevent further dental complications, and ensure your oral health.
Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or causing discomfort, we offer gentle, professional care to help you recover quickly and comfortably.
When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Needed?
Wisdom teeth removal may be necessary if your teeth are causing any of the following issues:
- Impaction: When the wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge properly, they can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and swelling.
- Infection or Gum Disease: Wisdom teeth can create pockets of infection and bacteria, leading to gum disease or abscesses.
- Crowding: If your wisdom teeth are coming in misaligned, they can cause your other teeth to shift, affecting the alignment of your bite.
- Cysts or Tumors: Impacted wisdom teeth can sometimes lead to cysts or tumors, which may damage your jawbone or teeth.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to consult with your dentist to determine whether wisdom teeth removal is necessary.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
At Hollon & Taylor Dental Fairhope, we make sure your wisdom teeth removal is as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation and X-rays: Your dentist will conduct an initial consultation and take X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best approach for removal.
- Anesthesia or Sedation: Wisdom teeth removal can be done under local anesthesia to numb the area, or for more complex extractions, we may offer sedation options to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Extraction Procedure: The dentist will carefully remove the wisdom teeth. If the teeth are impacted, they may need to be broken into smaller pieces for easier removal. The procedure is performed with minimal discomfort.
- Post-Removal Care: After the procedure, your dentist will provide detailed instructions for aftercare, including pain management, reducing swelling, and how to promote healing. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
