Wisdom Teeth Removal
Monroe Avenue Dental in Corvallis can provide wisdom teeth removal if it’s deemed necessary. Wisdom teeth removal is a standard oral surgery procedure requiring some preparation and aftercare, which our experienced team can help you with.
Do I Need My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Not everyone does. Some wisdom teeth (third molars) come in without any problems. Many people, however, experience problems with their wisdom teeth that necessitate extraction to prevent damage to other teeth. If your wisdom teeth are “impacted” there is not enough room for them to erupt through the gums without damaging nearby teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Monitoring
Our Corvallis dentist periodically X-rays your teeth to check for cavities and other abnormalities that may require future treatment. We particularly pay close attention to wisdom teeth X-rays during adolescence and early adulthood. We watch for their placement in comparison to the surrounding teeth, what angle they are coming in at, and whether they are causing pain or infection.
Corvallis Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth extraction involves a routine, outpatient oral surgery procedure that may take a couple of hours in the office and a few days of rest, care, and pudding afterward. Our Monroe Avenue Dental team will help you from beginning to end so that you can get back to your normal activities as soon as possible. If you have any concerns about your wisdom teeth, schedule an appointment with us today.
