Prevent Dental Problems With McKinney Wisdom Teeth Removal

Our dentists look at all your teeth during dental exams. They’ll pay especially close attention to your third molars (wisdom teeth), which come in a decade or more later than your other adult teeth. Because of their late arrival, there isn’t always enough room for them in your jaw. These close quarters can cause problems that may lead us to recommend wisdom teeth removal in McKinney.

Like any procedure, you’ll likely feel less anxious having it performed by your family dentist rather than an oral surgeon you don’t know. We’ll ensure it goes smoothly with:

• Effective local anesthesia to prevent pain
• Three soothing forms of sedation, so you can choose the right level of relaxation
• Advanced technology, including an intraoral camera we can use to share images of your mouth with you
• A full explanation of the procedure before it starts, so you know exactly what to expect

If you think you may need a wisdom teeth extraction, call us today at 972-787-1869. Signs include tooth pain, jaw pain, and swollen gums. If you’ve discussed it with another dentist, ask our team for a free second opinion.

Keep Your Mouth Healthy With A Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. If they’re not causing any issues, we may recommend leaving them alone. However, common problems include:

• Crowding that affects other teeth and even your bite
• Teeth that are impacted (don’t come fully through the gums) or come in at an angle rather than straight, both of which make you more susceptible to gum disease and tooth decay

If you do need removal, we recommend having the procedure before the age of 25. Since your roots are less established, it will be easier and more comfortable to remove the teeth. In addition, younger patients typically recover faster. Once the teeth are removed, you’ll have more room in the back of your jaw, which makes it easier to keep your other teeth clean and healthy.
