What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they are the last adult teeth to erupt, they often lack the space they need to come in properly, which can lead to a variety of oral health issues.
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need to Be Removed
Not all wisdom teeth require removal, but many do. When they don’t have enough room to erupt naturally, they can become impacted and cause complications. Common reasons for removal include:
- Impaction: Teeth that are trapped beneath the gums, which can create pockets for bacteria.
- Infection: Partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean and may lead to infections.
- Cysts or Tumors: Impacted teeth can sometimes result in cyst formation, damaging surrounding bone or teeth.
- Crowding or Shifting: New growth can push on nearby teeth, affecting bite alignment and smile aesthetics.
- Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Wisdom teeth may cause decay or damage to neighboring molars.
- Pain and Swelling: Erupting wisdom teeth can lead to persistent discomfort or inflammation.
Routine dental exams and imaging can help detect these issues early, often before symptoms begin.
The Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure
Dr. Kovach has years of experience safely removing wisdom teeth for patients of all ages. Each procedure is tailored to your individual needs, but typically includes the following steps:
- Comprehensive Consultation
A full assessment is conducted, including imaging and a discussion of your medical history. This is the time to review treatment goals and anesthesia options.
- Anesthesia
Depending on your case, we may use local anesthesia or IV sedation to keep you comfortable and relaxed.
- Tooth Removal:
Dr. Kovach carefully accesses and removes the tooth or teeth. In some cases, the tooth may be divided into smaller pieces to facilitate removal.
- Suturing and Healing
The surgical sites are cleaned and sutured. You’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery.
- Recovery
Most patients return to normal routines within a few days. A soft food diet is typically recommended for the first 24–48 hours.
