What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom tooth extraction is recommended when these teeth are impacted, meaning they fail to emerge fully from the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and other oral health concerns.

At Salt Lake Dental, we understand that wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can often cause discomfort and dental complications. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure involving removing these molars. Typically, wisdom teeth emerge during the late teenage years or early twenties and can cause various oral health issues due to misalignment or lack of sufficient space in the jaw.

Benefits Of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Prevention Of Crowding

Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding in the mouth, leading to shifting and misaligning adjacent teeth. Extracting these teeth helps maintain proper alignment and prevents the need for orthodontic treatment in the future.
