Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

or many patients, there is not enough space in the jaw to accommodate these teeth, which can lead to various oral health issues. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection or damage to surrounding teeth.

Common Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal:

• Insufficient space in the jaw to accommodate the teeth
• Risk of crowding or shifting other teeth
• Pain or pressure in the back of the mouth
• Development of cysts, infections or gum disease
• Difficulty cleaning wisdom teeth, leading to decay

What to Expect During the Procedure

At Hudson Dental Care, we prioritize your comfort and safety during wisdom teeth removal. Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action.

The procedure itself is typically completed in one visit and involves removing the teeth carefully to minimize discomfort. Sedation options are available to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout the process. After the teeth are removed, we will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Swelling, tenderness and slight bleeding are common during the initial healing phase but can be managed with rest, cold compresses and any prescribed medications.
