Oral Surgery- Wisdom Teeth Removal in North Bethesda

Wisdom teeth are the rear molars, typically two each in upper and lower jaws. They will usually appear sometime during the late teens or early twenties, although they may not necessarily erupt, but rather come in at an angle to the other teeth in the jaw and remain below the gum line. Whether they erupt or not, wisdom teeth can cause many problems such as crowding, pain, and swelling. When these symptoms occur, it is often necessary to remove or extract the wisdom teeth. The dentist at our North Bethesda dental office will often take x-rays to determine whether wisdom teeth removal is necessary. When teeth are removed, care must be taken to ensure that the removal site does not become compromised or infected. It may be necessary to eat only soft foods and chew carefully in addition to careful brushing and flossing and maintaining good oral hygiene.
