Relieve Pain and Protect Your Smile with Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Struggling with jaw pressure, gum irritation, or persistent discomfort at the back of your mouth? Your third molars, or wisdom teeth, may be causing the problem. At Kempsville Dental, we offer expert Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Virginia Beach to safely remove impacted or misaligned teeth, prevent future complications, and preserve your long-term oral health.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, usually appearing between ages 17 and 25. Limited space in the mouth can cause them to become impacted or misaligned, potentially leading to discomfort, gum irritation, or pressure on nearby teeth. Early dental evaluation helps identify issues and determine if removal is needed.
Why Wisdom Teeth May Need Removal
While some wisdom teeth remain healthy and functional, extractions are commonly recommended to prevent:
Impaction: When teeth get stuck in the jaw or gum tissue, causing pain or swelling.- Infection and Decay: Trapped food and bacteria under the gum can lead to infection and cavities.
- Damage to Nearby Teeth: Pressure from impacted wisdom teeth may harm second molars.
- Cysts or Tumors: Rarely, growths can form around impacted teeth.
Types of Wisdom Teeth Impaction
Soft Tissue Impaction: The crown has erupted through the bone but is partially covered by gum.
Partial Bony Impaction: Part of the crown remains under the gum and jawbone.
Complete Bony Impaction: The tooth is fully encased in jawbone, requiring advanced removal techniques
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
You may require wisdom teeth removal if you experience:
- Persistent jaw pain or swelling
- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
- Recurrent infection or gum inflammation
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
- Headaches or discomfort near the back molars
Early evaluation allows our team to determine the need for extraction and prevent serious dental complications.
What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth extractions are performed in-office under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Our team ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure.
