Wisdom Teeth Removal in Denver, CO

Is your jaw beginning to ache? Wisdom teeth often cause discomfort and other dental problems as they erupt and take up space in your jaw. If your wisdom teeth are causing pain, discomfort, or swelling, schedule a visit with D-Dental for a proper diagnosis to determine whether or not removal is necessary. We offer comfortable wisdom teeth removal in Denver, CO.

What Happens When Wisdom Teeth Erupt

When wisdom teeth attempt to erupt through the gums, they frequently cause problems. They may only come out partially or not at all (impacted). Sometimes, wisdom teeth also enter the gum line at an angle rather than straight. These 3rd sets of molars may also come out unevenly, which can cause pain.

Flaps of skin may develop above wisdom teeth that only partially erupt. Food particles may become trapped beneath the skin, making it difficult to clean the teeth. It facilitates the development of an infection known as pericoronitis. It produces swelling and pain in the affected area, but this typically resolves on its own. A wisdom tooth removal can help solve these issues.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?

If you have impacted wisdom teeth, we recommend that you have them surgically removed. Failing to remove impacted wisdom teeth can cause them to be trapped within your jawbone, resulting in pain and a myriad of complications that may require additional treatment.

Before extracting the teeth, we will take an 3D X-ray to observe the position and condition of your wisdom teeth underneath the gums. When ready for the extraction, we will administer a local anesthesia to numb the area and make the process as comfortable as possible.

Aside from impacted wisdom teeth, you may also need to have your wisdom teeth pulled if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Your wisdom teeth are erupting unevenly or crookedly.

• The area behind your mouth hurts.

• You have dental decay or cavities in one of your wisdom teeth.

• Wisdom teeth removal may be necessary to prevent potential problems if dental X-rays indicate that they are likely to cause discomfort and other issues.

Prevent Pain and Future Dental Problems

You can have wisdom teeth removal at any age, but delaying the process can make removal more troublesome and recovery much slower.
