Signs You Need Wisdom Tooth Removal
Don't Ignore These Warning Signs
Wisdom teeth — your third molars — typically emerge between ages 17 and 25. When there isn't enough room for them to erupt properly, they become impacted and can cause serious problems.
Simple vs. Surgical Extraction
Simple extraction is used when the wisdom tooth has fully erupted and can be removed with forceps under local anesthesia.
Surgical extraction is required for impacted wisdom teeth that are partially or fully beneath the gum line. Dr. Nail makes a small incision to access and remove the tooth, then closes the site with sutures.
