Surgical
Removal of Teeth
Many simple extractions can be performed by a general dentist.
However, since an oral surgeon has special training, dentists
will usually refer patients for the removal of damaged, impacted,
or severely decayed teeth, including wisdom teeth. Patients
who would be more comfortable receiving sedation or general
anesthesia during surgical procedures are usually referred to
an oral surgeon. |

Surgical
Removal of 3rd Molars (Wisdom Teeth) (View Animated Example)
Very few people have the space for their third molars (wisdom
teeth) and most people do not need these teeth to function properly.
Wisdom teeth will often be impacted in the bone, preventing
the normal eruption process (pushing through the gum tissue).
Most dentists will recommend extraction of wisdom teeth to prevent
problems such as crowding of other teeth, which can be a serious
problem with orthodontics, and possible infection. A major health
problem associated with impacted wisdom teeth can be Jaw
Cysts and Jaw Tumors. |
