Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Maple Ridge
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, usually come in during your late teens or early twenties. For some people, these teeth grow in without any problems. For others, they can become impacted wisdom teeth, leading to pain, infections, and other dental problems.
When Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
You may need wisdom teeth removed if they:
- Grow at an angle and push against nearby teeth.
- Only partly come through the gums, which raises the risk of gum disease or tooth decay.
- Cause swelling, pain, or problems with chewing.
- Lead to repeated infections or abscesses.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Procedure
At our dental office in Maple Ridge, we follow a careful process to make your wisdom tooth extraction safe and comfortable:
- Consultation & Treatment Planning: We’ll check your oral health, take X-rays, and talk about whether removal is needed.
- Extraction Procedure: We’ll numb the area and gently remove the tooth. If the case is more complex, we may need to use stitches to assist with healing.
- Post-Procedure Care: After your wisdom tooth removal, we’ll give you tips to reduce swelling, prevent infections, and ensure proper healing.
Removing wisdom teeth can ease pain and prevent long-term issues like shifting teeth or recurring infections.
General Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions aren’t just for wisdom teeth. Sometimes, removing a decayed or painful tooth is the best way to protect your oral health and prevent future problems. At Dentistry Thirty Two, we work hard to make this process as easy and comfortable as possible.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
- Severe Decay or Infection: If tooth decay or an infection is too advanced for a filling or root canal to fix.
- Gum Disease: When gum disease causes the bone and tissues supporting the tooth to weaken.
- Crowding or Orthodontic Needs: To create space for proper alignment before starting braces or other treatments.
- Damaged Teeth: Teeth that are too broken to repair, often due to trauma or wear, may need removal.
The Extraction Process
- Pre-Procedure Consultation: We’ll explain why removal is needed and go over your treatment plan.
- Comfort-Focused Procedure: We use local anesthesia or sedation, if necessary, to make sure you’re comfortable.
- Aftercare Guidance: We’ll provide easy-to-follow instructions to help your mouth heal, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications.ions.
While extractions may sound intimidating, they’re often an important step to avoid further dental problems and protect your remaining teeth and gums.
