Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure often recommended to prevent potential problems that can arise when the third molars, or wisdom teeth, do not have enough space to emerge properly. These teeth typically develop in the late teens or early twenties, and their growth can lead to crowding, impaction or infection if not addressed. Dr. Filiberto Herdocia provides professional wisdom teeth removal in a comfortable and caring environment.
The need for wisdom teeth removal is often due to one of the following reasons:
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth can become trapped under the gums or partially emerge, which can lead to pain, swelling or infection.
- Crowding: When there is not enough space for wisdom teeth, they can push against neighboring teeth, causing misalignment.
- Decay or Infection: Due to their location, wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean properly, making them more prone to cavities and infections.
The procedure is generally straightforward and is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient’s needs. After the removal, our dentist and team will provide post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities within a few days.
