Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, typically emerging during the late teens or early twenties. While some individuals have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience discomfort, crowding or other dental problems. Our experienced dentists and team provide wisdom teeth removal in Merced, California, to protect your oral health and ensure your comfort.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal May Be Necessary
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. However, in many cases, wisdom teeth can cause complications due to limited space in the mouth. Common reasons for removal include:
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth may not fully erupt, becoming trapped beneath the gum line and causing discomfort or infection.
- Crowding: The eruption of wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment.
- Decay and Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Cysts or Damage: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to cysts or damage to surrounding teeth and bone.
By addressing these issues early, you can prevent more significant dental problems in the future.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Removing problematic wisdom teeth offers several advantages:
- Prevents Pain and Discomfort: Alleviates pressure and irritation caused by impacted or overcrowded teeth.
- Protects Oral Health: Reduces the risk of infections, decay and gum disease.
- Preserves Alignment: Prevents shifting or crowding of adjacent teeth.
- Minimizes Future Complications: Early removal reduces the risk of cysts or bone damage.
