Wisdom teeth can cause issues if they don't come in correctly. Dr. Palka Sawhney Sharma at Lake Chaparral Dental Care offers wisdom teeth extractions to keep your smile healthy and pain-free.
Wisdom teeth often crowd your existing teeth, leading to misalignment, pain, and cleaning difficulties. Removing them prevents overlapping, helps maintain oral hygiene, and stops potential complications like tooth decay or gum disease.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause:
Headaches
Food traps
Mouth pain
These issues can worsen, leading to bone damage or oral cysts. Early extraction can prevent long-term problems.
Dr. Palka Sawhney Sharma conducts a thorough examination, using X-rays to assess your teeth. If the situation is complex, we do have the option of performing the wisdom teeth extraction under IV sedation at Lake Chaparral Dental Care.
The area is numbed, and if necessary, an incision is made. The tooth is then removed in sections. Afterward, gauze is applied to control bleeding, and stitches are placed to promote healing.
Follow your dentist's post-extraction instructions for a smooth recovery. Start with a soft diet and gradually return to normal eating.
