Why Wisdom Teeth Removal Matters
Wisdom teeth—also known as third molars—typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. While some individuals may never experience complications, many people face issues such as impacted teeth, crowding, infection, or pain, which require surgical removal.
At Arcadia Medi-Dental Group, located at 311 E Live Oak Ave, Arcadia, CA, our experienced team offers gentle, safe, and effective wisdom teeth removal tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're experiencing discomfort or preparing for preventive removal, we’re here to help every step of the way.
What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are your last set of molars, and for many people, they do not have enough room to erupt properly. Common issues include:
-
Impaction: Teeth get stuck under the gums or against other teeth.
-
Infection: Partially erupted teeth can harbor bacteria, leading to gum infections.
-
Crowding: They push other teeth out of alignment.
-
Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can damage the jaw and surrounding teeth.
When to Remove?
When should you plan to remove your wisdom teeth?
You might need an evaluation if you experience:
-
Jaw pain or swelling
-
Red or swollen gums
-
Difficulty opening your mouth
-
Bad breath or unpleasant taste in the mouth
-
Crowded or shifting teeth
Early evaluation (typically in the late teens) can prevent future complications. We use digital X-rays and 3D imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
