Wisdom Tooth Extractions – Mesquite, TX

Saying So Long to Your Third Molars

Once necessary to early human civilizations, wisdom teeth (or third molars) helped to ensure optimal nutrition. Without these teeth, it would have been challenging to sustain any kind of diet; however, as times have changed, wisdom teeth no longer serve a purpose. Instead, they usually cause problems because most patients don't have enough space in their mouths to accomodate them. If a teenager or young adult in your family is complaining of issues toward the back of their mouth, call our dental office to let a member of our team determine if a wisdom tooth extraction in Mesquite is necessary.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Simple or complex are the two types of procedures that can occur when dealing with wisdom teeth. When these molars have partially erupted through the gums, our team can use dental elevators and forceps to raise the tooth and gently move it back and forth until it releases.

If the tooth is impacted beneath the gumline, the process will require a surgical component. Using specialized instruments, we will likely remove it in sections. This not only makes the process easier but also serves to avoid harming the underlying bone any further.
