Why Wisdom Teeth Might Need to Be Removed

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars to emerge, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, many encounter problems due to:

Impacted Teeth: When there isn't enough space for wisdom teeth to emerge, they may become trapped under the gums or grow at an angle.
Crowding: The emergence of wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment, affecting your bite and causing discomfort.
Infection and Decay: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are more challenging to clean, which can lead to infections, cavities, or gum disease.

Here’s what you can expect when you choose Espire Dental for your wisdom teeth removal:

Comprehensive Evaluation: Our dentists will perform a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine if removal is necessary.

When is the best age to have wisdom teeth removed?

The ideal age is typically between 17 and 25, when the roots are not fully formed, making the procedure easier and recovery faster.

How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

Most patients recover in 3-5 days, although some may experience soreness for a week or more. Following aftercare instructions helps speed up healing.

Can I use sedation for wisdom teeth removal?

Yes, we offer both nitrous oxide and oral sedation to ensure a comfortable experience. Oral sedation is provided at no additional cost.

Will I be able to drive home after the procedure?

If you choose nitrous oxide, you can drive yourself home. For oral sedation, you’ll need a friend or family member to accompany you.

What are the risks of not removing wisdom teeth?

Leaving wisdom teeth untreated can lead to pain, infection, damage to nearby teeth, and even cysts. Early removal often prevents these issues.

Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?

Yes, we frequently remove all four in a single appointment. This approach minimizes the need for multiple visits and allows for a single recovery period.
