WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION

By the age of eighteen, the average adult has 32 teeth; 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. Your wisdom teeth, also known as your third molars, are the last teeth at the very back of your mouth. When your wisdom teeth align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.

The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. This is why in many cases it is important to remove your wisdom teeth.

The removal of wisdom teeth is necessary when your wisdom teeth are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum and even remain trapped (impacted) beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth may take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to erupt successfully.

Tooth Extraction FAQs

What types of tooth extraction services are offered at Alton Dental in Burlington?
There are two types of tooth extractions and we offer both. They are simple and complex extractions. Simple extractions are for teeth already fully grown while complex extractions are for wisdom or impacted teeth.
Why might I need a tooth extraction at Alton Dental?
There are many reasons an extraction is necessary but the root reason is the tooth can’t be saved. It could be decayed or be damaged. It could be wisdom teeth crowding out others. Extractions aren’t our first choice but sometimes are the necessary choice.
What is involved in wisdom tooth extraction at Alton Dental?
Wisdom tooth extraction happens primarily because of overcrowding but they can also be impacted or not growing properly. Wisdom teeth may grow sideways or backwards into the jaw. Those can be painful and need to be removed.
How does Alton Dental minimize discomfort during extractions?
We use local anesthetics to numb areas where dentists work and there are also sedation options available for those who have anxiety or trouble sitting still.
