Wisdom Teeth Removal
A very small number of people never have to deal with wisdom teeth. But for most of us, they become a reality in our late teens or early twenties. If you or someone in your home needs to see our dentist, Dr. Ozzie Rodas, for wisdom tooth removal in Albuquerque, New Mexico, call the team at High Desert Dental at 505-888-2606.
Wisdom teeth are commonly known as third molars. They are often the last teeth to erupt from the gumline, and as such, the mouth usually does not have enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow in properly. If the wisdom teeth cannot fit, they may grow in at an odd angle or become impacted, a condition where teeth cannot grow through gum tissues and the jawbone. This may lead to several harmful dental conditions, such as:
- Teeth misalignment
- Damaged jawbones
- Infection
- Tooth decay
- Oral cysts
- Damaged surrounding teeth
To avoid these complications, our dentist may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed. Your mouth and bite will be carefully examined by our dentist to see if wisdom teeth removal is necessary for the health of your smile. If it is, we will consult with you so that you know what to expect before, during and after your wisdom teeth removal. The procedure itself should be quick and efficient to help ensure you have a positive dental experience.
