Getting your wisdom teeth pulled helps to prevent problems with impaction later on. At Almeida & Bell Dental General, Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry, we recognize that good oral health contributes to better overall health. When wisdom teeth begin to come in, they can put your oral health at risk for a number of reasons; that’s why we perform wisdom teeth removal procedures at both of our convenient office locations.
Why Would I Need My Wisdom Teeth Pulled?
Most adults will need their wisdom teeth pulled at some point in their life. The wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that are meant to come in at the very back of your mouth.
While your first two sets of molars erupt from your gums in childhood, wisdom teeth come in later, closer to your late teens or early adulthood. This is because they are teeth leftover from our ancestors who had larger mouths and less access to dental hygiene. They suffered tooth decay and tooth loss at a much higher rate, and their wisdom teeth were meant to replace teeth that had fallen out early.
Thanks to evolution giving us smaller mouths and advancements in dental care and dental hygiene allowing us to keep more of our natural teeth, most adults no longer have to deal with the level of tooth loss from ages past—but we are still born with our wisdom teeth anyway.
If you are looking to have your wisdom teeth removed, give us a call today. We have offices in Denver and in Lone Tree, CO, and we provide wisdom teeth extraction to patients who come to us from the surrounding areas of Northfield, Highlands Ranch, and Central Park.
Wisdom Teeth Problems
As a result of the above, when wisdom teeth try to emerge from the gums in your early adulthood, they can cause a number of problems, including:
Overcrowding: Wisdom teeth may push other teeth out of the way trying to come in, giving you a crooked and crowded smile.
Becoming Impacted: Without enough room in your mouth, wisdom teeth may become trapped under your gums, resulting in extreme pain and discomfort as they try to erupt.
Tooth Infection: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infections and a number of other health concerns.
To avoid these problems, our talented doctors can perform a safe wisdom tooth extraction to help preserve the rest of your teeth and help you avoid any unnecessary dental pain. We are able to treat both erupted and impacted wisdom teeth at either of our office locations in Denver or Lone Tree, CO.
