Understanding Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually emerge (Also referred to as eruption) between 17 and 25. In some cases, wisdom teeth cause no problems, but many people can experience pain, infections, and complications to orthodontic alignment caused by impacted or misaligned molars. 

Early and proactive treatment means that the molars can be removed before the root fully develops and before they can start to cause alignment and crowding issues. Impacted wisdom teeth can even crack or break while trying to emerge, and the stresses can damage surrounding teeth. 

If you’re searching for the best wisdom teeth removal, contact Miles of Smiles! Our experienced team provides comprehensive care for patients, helping ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

What Wisdom Teeth Extractions Treat

FAQs

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

Many patients can manage their pain with over-the-counter pain medicine such as ibuprofen, while more complicated removals can benefit from a short-term prescription pain management medication.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies, but most return to normal within 3–7 days.

At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?

Ideally, in the late teens to early 20’s, before the tooth root is fully developed but for the average healthy patient, wisdom teeth removal can be done as soon as the wisdom teeth start to cause pain and discomfort.

Will insurance cover the procedure?

Coverage depends on your plan. Our team will help confirm your benefits before treatment.
