Wisdom Teeth Removal in Cupertino, CA
What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge during your late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience pain, crowding, or complications that require professional tooth extraction.
Wisdom teeth removal is a common surgical procedure designed to prevent or resolve problems like:
- Impacted teeth (teeth trapped under the gums or bone).
- Overcrowding that affects alignment.
- Tooth infections or cysts forming around the wisdom teeth.
- Gum disease or decay in hard-to-reach areas.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but certain symptoms indicate it may be necessary:
- Persistent jaw pain or swelling.
- Red, swollen, or tender gums.
- Difficulty opening your mouth.
- Pain when chewing or biting.
- Frequent infections in the back of your mouth.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, schedule a consultation with Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery to determine the best course of action.
