Actually there are many people who still have their wisdom teeth. Removal is not always needed. However, a common misconception is that wisdom teeth only need to be removed if they cause pain. Normally developing wisdom teeth may still be prone to infections and other problems that should be avoided whenever possible. Come in for a free consultation to ask about yours and to get an honest answer.

Many times the wisdom teeth get stuck (impacted) behind the back molar and cannot come in properly. Or the wisdom tooth has no room to come in and function like a regular molar. These issues cause later problems with pain and infection as well as make the molar in front of it difficult to clean...resulting in cavities and even problems with the gums and bone.

No. That choice is completely yours. We've found that most people prefer sedation because we are removing teeth from all 4 "corners" of the mouth. It makes an unpleasant experience very easy and comfortable. And it's included!

Wisdom teeth develop in your mid to late teen years. This is usually the best time. However, anytime you are experiencing pain or swelling visit your dentist right away. Avoid these problems by seeing your dentist before this happens.

No...the cost will be less. Call for a free consultation and we can give you the exact fee.

Wisdom teeth are the very back teeth in the mouth. However many wisdom teeth never erupt. Sometimes you only know if you have all your wisdom teeth, or any at all, by having your dentist take an x ray. Wisdom teeth are often called "Third molars" because they are the 3rd molar tooth to come into the mouth.

Impacted wisdom teeth are wisdom teeth that get stuck, or blocked, from erupting by the tooth in front of it or simply being misaligned in the jaw and unable to erupt. This misaligned or impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on the adjacent tooth, which can result in permanent damage to these otherwise healthy teeth and surrounding bone.

Wisdom teeth received their name by being the last tooth to erupt into the mouth. Therefore the person is relatively "wiser". Wisdom teeth usually come in between the ages of 15-25 years old but can vary from person to person. Wisdom teeth are also called "Third Molars"
