Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of the mouth. When there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly, they can lead to pain, infection, and damage to nearby teeth. At Serenity Dental, every patient begins with a thorough evaluation to assess the position of the wisdom teeth and determine the most appropriate care. If your situation requires, we will coordinate a trusted referral to ensure you receive the best possible treatment. Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal: • Prevents pain and infection • Protects surrounding teeth • Reduces risk of crowding and misalignment • Lowers the chance of cysts and other complications
Wisdom teeth are often removed if they are impacted, causing pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. If there isn't enough space in your mouth, they may become misaligned, leading to oral health problems.
Recovery typically takes about 3-5 days for the initial healing, although full recovery can take a few weeks. Swelling and discomfort should decrease after the first few days.
Wisdom teeth are typically removed between the ages of 17 and 25 when the roots aren’t fully formed, making extraction easier and recovery quicker. However, the best time to remove them varies for each person.
