Wisdom Teeth Removal in Odenton, MD

As a rule of thumb, our goal at True Dental is to protect our patients’ natural teeth from extraction whenever possible. However, if a tooth or teeth present a risk to the overall oral health, it should be removed. Wisdom teeth are the most common teeth that are removed proactively to prevent oral health issues and it is a service we offer at our office in Odenton.

The last four molars to arrive in the mouth are the wisdom teeth, usually emerging right near adulthood for most teens. While many wisdom teeth come in with little problem, there are others that pose a risk when they begin to completely form. Some people are born with smaller mouths that cannot accommodate these last molars. Others have wisdom teeth that become impacted in the gums, either growing the wrong direction or not emerging at all. When these types of issues occur, they can cause pain, infection and other dental issues if the wisdom teeth are not removed.

Wisdom teeth should be monitored as they begin to form to check for any possible issues.
