Tooth Extraction in Kerrisdale, Vancouver
Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure. But what exactly is it?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop on either side of the jaw, breaking through after a patient has fully grown (between the ages of 16 and 20). You have probably heard many people talking about having their wisdom teeth removed, but it doesn’t happen in all cases.
If the molars have enough room to erupt in the jaw, and are healthy and well-positioned, they can be left alone, and function effectively with your existing bite. We provide tooth extractions in NE Calgary to prevent future dental issues from arising.
Why is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Contact our dental office today to schedule your appointment for a tooth extraction near you. Our dentist would be happy to evaluate your mouth and determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
If there is no space in the jaw for the wisdom teeth to grow in, then they can become impacted as a result. This term means that the tooth has no place to move within the jaw, and then causes issues by either beginning to move in places they shouldn’t (e.g. sideways into the jaw) or becoming trapped in place within the gum, causing pain and putting the patient at risk for infection or damage to the surrounding teeth. For this reason, if wisdom teeth are impacted, receiving a tooth extraction in Vancouver, BC V6M 4B9 is recommended.
