Wisdom Teeth Removal Irvine, CA
Don’t wait for pain or disruption — We glady accept most PPO dental insurance!
Wisdom teeth can emerge anytime in a person’s late teenage years, their 20’s, or even in the early 30’s. Dentists often recommend wisdom teeth removal before the teeth even begin to emerge. That’s because improper positioning of wisdom teeth may cause disruption or damage to surrounding teeth. Additionally, adults who have kept their wisdom teeth might later be told they need extraction due to cavities or decay. (That’s because wisdom teeth are so hard to reach when brushing & flossing.) So, if you or your teen have been told you need wisdom teeth removed, don’t wait until it causes pain or other problems. Call (949) 567-8833 to schedule wisdom teeth removal with Newport Oral Surgery in Irvine, CA.
Why do wisdom teeth need extraction & what does “impacted” mean?
Before modern dentistry, it was helpful to have wisdom teeth emerge in late childhood/early adulthood. People simply lost teeth more often, and these third molars helped them go about eating and chewing properly. Nowadays, however, not many people have the extra room for wisdom teeth, and they tend to cause problems by becoming impacted—that is, emerge in a direction that crowds other teeth. Ultimately this pressure can disrupt the alignment of the rest of the teeth.
