With advanced training in tooth exodontia, we have become one of the premier providers of wisdom teeth removal in Long Beach and surrounding communities.
Do I Need An Extraction?
While our dental team leaves no nook and corner and generally try everything to save your natural teeth, they are left with no other option than extraction when the tooth is in very bad condition or shape. A problematic tooth can put your health at risk and, therefore, it becomes crucial to take a decision that protects from other health complications that may arise out of neglection. Some of the common cases where you need tooth extraction are:
- Infection
- Irrevocable trauma
- Deep decay
- Overcrowding
- Failed root canal therapy
- Misalignment
- Split teeth
- Troubling wisdom teeth
Our tooth extraction dentist in Long Beach will not only provide an expert treatment to remove your bad tooth, but will also give you advice on post-treatment. We will also suggest you different tooth replacement options that meet budget and lifestyle.
Pulling Wisdom Teeth
If a wisdom tooth fails to erupt, it is described as “impacted,” and can result in the following problems:
- Pain and discomfort: Impacted wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, causing ongoing pain and discomfort.
- Decay: If wisdom teeth only have room to partially emerge from the gum, there is a high risk of tooth decay.
- Overcrowding: Partially emerged wisdom teeth can crowd the rest of the teeth, pushing them out of alignment.
- Gum disease or infection: Impacted wisdom teeth can encourage the build-up of bacteria that leads to gum disease or infection.
Long Beach Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth refer to our third molars that erupt after the rest of your adult teeth. They usually appear when people reach the age of about 17 to 25 years.
Because they appear late, there is often not enough space for them to grow properly. This leads to several complications such as:
- Damage to the neighboring teeth
- Gum Tissues Infection
- The wisdom teeth stuck in the gum tissues and bone
- Cyst Formation
- Damaged jawbone
- Periodontal disease
- Disruption to the teeth alignment
Not all wisdom teeth require extractions, but when these complications arise, our dentist recommends removing them to ease your discomfort.
