Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is a common practice in modern dentistry. Our dentist and team may recommend this procedure to help prevent crowding in the mouth, since crowding can lead to other dental issues. Contact Premium Smile Care at 951-324-1212 for more information about wisdom teeth removal in Riverside, California, and schedule a visit with Dr. Norma Lantzsch.
Wisdom teeth are commonly known as third molars. They are often the last teeth to erupt from the gumline, and as such, the mouth usually does not have enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow in properly. If the wisdom teeth cannot fit, they may grow in at an odd angle or become impacted, a condition where teeth cannot grow through gum tissues and the jawbone. This may lead to several harmful dental conditions, such as:
- Teeth misalignment
- Damaged jawbones
- Infection
- Tooth decay
- Oral cysts
- Damaged surrounding teeth
To avoid these complications, our dentist may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed. Your mouth and bite will be carefully examined by our dentist to see if wisdom teeth removal is necessary for the health of your smile. If it is, we will consult with you so that you know what to expect before, during and after your wisdom teeth removal. The procedure itself should be quick and efficient to help ensure you have a positive dental experience.
