Find Out If You Could Benefit From Wisdom Tooth Removal
If your wisdom teeth come in correctly and you have enough room in your jaw for them, you may not need to get them removed. But, the vast majority of the time, patients will need to get their wisdom teeth taken out for a variety of reasons.
For one thing, wisdom teeth often come in crooked. And we’re not talking about a simple cosmetic issue like a slightly crooked tooth. A lot of the time, wisdom teeth will come in at an angle where they’ll collide with your other teeth and cause a variety of issues. In some cases, wisdom teeth will even come in completely sideways. If they come in at an angle, your wisdom teeth will not only have their own set of issues, but cause other ones in you smile as well.
Wisdom teeth can also become impacted. This is when a tooth starts to emerge but becomes stuck in your gums or jaw for some reason or another. When a tooth becomes impacted, it often creates very painful problems like infection.
Other times, wisdom teeth may start to erupt but not come in fully, leaving them only partially exposed. This may not sound like that big of an issue on its own, but if nothing is done about a partially erupted wisdom tooth, all sorts of tooth and gum problems can arise.
Wisdom teeth can also come in perfectly straight but be too close to your other teeth. For instance, a wisdom tooth can start to come up and then start rubbing its crown against that of one of your other teeth, causing pain, tension, and even lasting damage to one or both teeth.
If we determine that you do need to get your wisdom teeth removed for the sake of your future and present oral health, we will do everything we can to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
To better assess your situation and plan and perform your procedure, we will use state-of-the-art dental technology. For example, we have invested in a panoramic digital X-ray that will provide clear images of every angle of your mouth and emit a fraction of the radiation that traditional X-ray machines produce.
To give you some privacy, we have nine private care rooms at our Butte, MT dentist office. We can also provide comfort amenities like soft pillows and warm blankets so you can feel cozier while we work.
Depending on your case and if you need some help relieving dental anxiety, we can also provide a few options for dental sedation.
