Removing wisdom teeth is a common procedure that can prevent a host of oral health issues. At Chandler Park Dental Care, we specialize in safe, effective wisdom teeth removal services in Bowling Green, KY. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing you with the highest standard of care, ensuring your procedure is comfortable and successful.
The Hidden Risks of Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. Unfortunately, they often don’t have enough space to grow correctly, which can lead to problems such as:
Impacted Teeth: Teeth that are trapped in the jawbone or gums can cause pain and health issues.
Crowded Teeth: As they push against other molars, wisdom teeth can cause misalignment.
Infections and Tooth Decay: Partially erupted teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to decay and gum disease.
Signs It’s Time For Wisdom Teeth Removal
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it might be time to have your wisdom teeth evaluated:
- Pain in the back of your mouth
- Swelling or redness in the gums
- Frequent headaches or jaw stiffness
- Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in your mouth
A Comfortable, Safe Extraction Process
At Chandler Park Dental Care, our process is designed to minimize discomfort and maximize safety.
First, our team performs an initial assessment, which includes a comprehensive oral examination using X-rays to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. To ensure your comfort, we offer sedation options tailored to your needs, allowing for a stress-free experience. Then, utilizing the latest techniques and technology, we conduct the extraction with precision, ensuring a smooth procedure.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-operative care is crucial for a swift recovery. We provide detailed instructions to help manage any discomfort and ensure proper healing. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, following adequate rest and adherence to aftercare recommendations.
We Picture A World Full Of Healthy, Comfortable Smiles
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough room to emerge properly, which can cause them to become impacted, lead to overcrowding, cause infections and result in pain or damage to adjacent teeth.
Common symptoms include pain or swelling in the jaw, red or swollen gums, bad breath, an unpleasant taste in your mouth and headaches.
Our skilled dentists perform the procedure using the latest technology to ensure minimal discomfort and a quick recovery. The surgery typically involves sedation for comfort and the extraction of the wisdom teeth.
We offer IV sedation, which keeps you in a calm, relaxed state during the procedure, so you are comfortable throughout and likely won’t remember the surgery.
Most patients experience swelling and discomfort for a few days. With our minimally invasive techniques, you can expect a quicker recovery and return to normal activities soon after surgery.
