Prevent Oral Health Problems With Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most common dental procedures at Dental Care Group in Toronto. This procedure involves removing the third molars, also known as wisdom teeth. These teeth typically erupt in late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause various issues if left untreated.

What are the benefits of wisdom teeth extraction?

The most significant advantage of wisdom teeth extraction is the prevention of overcrowding, which can result in a variety of oral health issues. When overcrowding occurs, it can cause jaw pain and the misalignment of other teeth. Removing wisdom teeth can reduce the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease, as these third molars are more difficult to reach with a toothbrush due to their location at the very back of the mouth.

How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth extraction?

The recovery time for wisdom teeth extraction typically takes about one to two weeks, depending on your healing time and whether you experienced any complications during the procedure. You may experience swelling, pain, and discomfort during the initial recovery period, but this should subside over time. Antibiotics can be prescribed to avoid infection.

Who is an ideal candidate for wisdom teeth extraction?

If you have overcrowding or pain in your mouth, it’s possible that your third molars are to blame. Our dentist can assess your teeth and recommend a wisdom tooth extraction.

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment at Dental Care Group to determine if wisdom teeth extraction can help you.
