Wisdom teeth removal is becoming increasingly common because of the effect it can have on the health of your teeth. It’s a relatively simple procedure that removes two to four of your back molars (or wisdom teeth) that come in later in life. Often there is no room for these teeth in your mouth and they can cause your other teeth to become crowded and crooked, or they are not able to exit the gums, which is called an impacted tooth. The latter can lead to infection, pain, teeth misalignment, and swelling.

By removing wisdom teeth, dentists are able to help you avoid these complications before they start. Though wisdom teeth removal can involve minor surgery, it is a quick, routine procedure that only requires one visit and has minimal recovery time. While many get their wisdom teeth removed at the end of adolescence or in their twenties, it’s never too late; Total Health Dentistry is dedicated to getting you healthy and smiling at any age. 

Dr. Gold knows that many people have some trepidation about going to the dentist, which is why she’s worked hard to make Total Health Dentistry a welcoming, caring environment.
