Choosing between a dentist and an oral surgeon for wisdom teeth removal often depends on the complexity of the extraction and the patient's specific needs. General dentists are trained to perform basic extractions, and many have the experience to remove uncomplicated wisdom teeth, especially if they have fully erupted and are easily accessible.


In contrast, oral surgeons specialize in more complex surgical procedures, including the removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth. If there's a higher risk for complications, such as proximity to the nerve, sinus cavity, or if the tooth is deeply encased in bone, an oral surgeon is the recommended choice. Oral surgeons have the capability to provide more advanced forms of sedation, including general anesthesia, making the procedure more comfortable for patients with anxiety or for complex extractions. In many cases, after an initial assessment, a general dentist might refer patients to an oral surgeon if they believe the procedure requires specialized care. 

What Is a Wisdom Tooth?

Wisdom Teeth Removals in Coral Springs, FL

A wisdom tooth, scientifically known as a third molar, is one of the last set of molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth typically emerge in individuals between the ages of 17 and 25, a phase of life often referred to as the "age of wisdom," hence the name. While most people develop four wisdom teeth, some may have fewer or even none at all. Unlike other teeth that serve specific purposes in chewing, wisdom teeth don't play a major role in modern human dentition. Due to their late eruption and positioning at the back of the oral cavity, they often cause dental issues and may require extraction.

Why Would I Need a Wisdom Tooth Removed?

Impaction: Often, there isn't enough space in the mouth for wisdom teeth to emerge properly. When this happens, they can become impacted, meaning they either remain trapped beneath the gum or bone or emerge at an incorrect angle.

Crowding: A growing wisdom tooth can push adjacent teeth, causing misalignment or crowding of teeth.

Infection or gum disease: Partially emerged wisdom teeth can create pockets around themselves where bacteria can accumulate, leading to infections or gum disease.

Tooth decay: Due to their location at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth can be hard to clean, making them susceptible to tooth decay.

Cysts or tumors: In rare cases, cysts or tumors can form around an impacted wisdom tooth, potentially damaging the jawbone and surrounding teeth.

Pain and discomfort: Even if no visible problems arise, a wisdom tooth can cause significant pain or discomfort, especially as it tries to emerge.

Signs I Need My Wisdom Tooth Removed

Determining the right time to remove a wisdom tooth often depends on both clinical findings and patient symptoms. Here are common indicators that suggest it might be time to consider extraction:

Pain and Tenderness:

Experiencing pain or tenderness at the back of your mouth, especially behind the molars, can indicate an emerging or impacted wisdom tooth.

Swelling:

Swelling around the jaw or red, inflamed gums at the back of the mouth can be symptoms of an impacted tooth or infection.

Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste:

Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth can be a result of bacterial buildup due to partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth.

Difficulty Opening Mouth:

If a wisdom tooth / teeth or surrounding areas becomes inflamed, it might become challenging to open your mouth fully. This can cause an irritable and uncomfortable experience.

Chewing Issues:

Pain or discomfort when chewing can suggest problems with a wisdom tooth.

Cysts:

While less common, the formation of a cyst around a wisdom tooth is a clear sign that dental intervention is required. A cyst can feel like a fluid-filled balloon and may cause pain and swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my wisdom teeth are impacted?

    Symptoms can include pain, swelling, and difficulty opening the mouth. However, the best way to determine impaction is through dental X-rays.

  • Will I be awake during the extraction procedure?

    Depending on the complexity of the extraction and patient preference, local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia can be used. The type of anesthesia determines the level of consciousness during the procedure.

  • What is the recovery time after extraction?

    Most people require a few days of rest and might experience swelling or discomfort during this time. Full recovery usually occurs within 2 weeks.

  • Can I eat normally after the extraction?

    It's best to stick to soft foods and liquids for the first few days to avoid disturbing the surgical site. Avoiding spicy, hot, or crunchy foods can also minimize discomfort.

  • How long does the procedure usually take?

    The duration varies based on the number of teeth being removed and their complexity. Generally, removing all four wisdom teeth might take about 45 minutes to an hour.
