Gallery Dental delivers specialized wisdom teeth removal services throughout Edmonton, using advanced dental technology and personalized oral care approaches.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth and Their Development
Wisdom teeth represent the third set of molars that develop in the human mouth through natural dental eruption processes. These third molars emerge at various ages depending on individual jaw development and genetic factors.
When Do Wisdom Teeth Come In?
Wisdom teeth can emerge as early as age 14 in some individuals, addressing the common question “can wisdom teeth come in at 14?”. Young teenagers experiencing jaw discomfort may indeed have early wisdom tooth eruption. The typical wisdom teeth age range extends from 14 to 30 years old, with most people experiencing eruption between ages 17 and 25.
Some individuals never develop wisdom teeth due to evolutionary changes in human jaw structure. Many wisdom teeth that do emerge cause no complications or oral health issues. However, problematic wisdom teeth frequently create more harm than benefit to overall dental health and adjacent tooth structures.
Professional Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Edmonton
Dr. Sekhon performs wisdom tooth extractions when these molars cause irreversible damage to surrounding teeth, compromise oral health, or create severe dental pain. Our comprehensive general dentistry services include preventive wisdom tooth removal to avoid future complications.
Preventing Serious Oral Health Complications
Gallery Dental anticipates potential problems from improperly positioned wisdom teeth through comprehensive dental examinations. Impacted wisdom teeth left untreated can result in:
- Adjacent teeth suffer structural damage to crowns and roots
- Dental alignment becomes compromised through tooth crowding
- Bacterial infections develop within jaw bone and surrounding tissues
- Wisdom teeth experience decay due to cleaning accessibility challenges
- Cysts or chronic infections form in jawbone and gum tissues
Identifying Wisdom Tooth Pain and Its Causes
Wisdom tooth pain typically results from these molars pushing against neighboring teeth or encountering blockage during gum tissue eruption. Initial discomfort often fluctuates between painful and pain-free periods. Persistent dental pain indicates the need for professional evaluation and potential extraction through oral surgery procedures.
Our Edmonton dental clinic provides thorough examinations to assess wisdom tooth position and health status. Dr. Sekhon discusses extraction procedures in detail when removal becomes necessary for optimal oral health.
Comfortable Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedures
Patient comfort remains our priority during all dental treatments at Gallery Dental. Dr. Sekhon recommends oral sedation options to ease anxiety during wisdom tooth removal procedures. Prescribed sedation medications help dental appointments proceed smoothly and comfortably.
Our general dentist possesses extensive experience performing oral surgery procedures, including complex wisdom tooth extractions. Highly complicated surgical cases receive referrals to oral surgeon specialists for specialized treatment when appropriate.
