The relative ease at which the Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania can extract your wisdom teeth depends on their position and their stage of development. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require extraction.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted, but sometimes the wisdom teeth cause pain. If there is swelling, infection or intense pain, then priority needs to be addressed to getting those wisdom teeth extracted as soon as possible. Wisdom teeth are often impacted. An impacted tooth is one that gets blocked as it is pushing through the gum into your mouth. An impacted tooth can be painless, but it can also lead to a bacterial infection.
If your wisdom teeth are impacted and causing you pain, give us a call today to discuss your treatment options.
