Wisdom Teeth Extractions
SE Calgary

Although adult teeth are meant to last a lifetime, there are situations where removal is the best treatment option. If you are experiencing pain or issues from your wisdom teeth, Millennium Dental is pleased to offer safe, effective, and pain-free wisdom tooth removal.

Located in the very back part of the mouth, wisdom teeth are the last and final set of molars to emerge. They generally come in between the ages of 14-30, although some people never get them at all. For many people, wisdom teeth grow in properly and cause no problems at all. For others however, problems arise, and intervention is necessary to avoid future complications. If left untreated, problematic wisdom teeth can lead to pain, tooth decay, gum disease, and occlusion problems.

Wisdom teeth can be a source of concern for many people. If there is too little room in the back of the mouth for wisdom teeth to erupt properly, their growth can be disrupted. For some people, wisdom teeth erupt only partially through the gums, which can result in crowding issues with the surrounding teeth, cavities, gum infections and/or severe pain. Sometimes wisdom teeth can grow in unusual directions, which can cause complications like crowding and damage to adjacent second molars. Impacted wisdom teeth occur when there is not enough room for wisdom teeth to erupt in the mouth. When wisdom teeth are impacted in the jaw, this can provide a very fertile ground for bacteria to grow at the opening of the mouth. This could lead to gum infection, which could cause considerable discomfort, pain, and swelling. Oftentimes your dentist can foresee problems arising later on, and may recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth.
