Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Do you feel discomfort from your wisdom teeth? The eruption of wisdom teeth can be a significant milestone—and sometimes a major discomfort. If you're experiencing pain or other issues with your wisdom teeth, Jensen Beach Smiles is here to provide professional, gentle wisdom teeth extractions that put your comfort and health first.

What is a Wisdom Tooth?

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop in your mouth, typically emerging in your late teens to early twenties. Although these teeth can be a valuable asset to your mouth when healthy and properly aligned, problems that require their removal often arise.

When Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Necessary?

Wisdom tooth extraction may be recommended due to several potential issues:

• Impaction: Wisdom teeth are impacted when they fail to fully emerge through the gums, often because there is insufficient room in the jaw or improperly aligned.

• Pain and Discomfort: If the emergence of wisdom teeth causes pain, swelling, or jaw stiffness, removal might be necessary.

• Risk of Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create openings around the tooth that can become a gateway for bacteria that cause oral infections.

• Damage to Adjacent Teeth: If wisdom teeth push against the second molars, they can damage them or lead to tooth misalignment.
