Wisdom Teeth Removal – Let’s Discuss
As anyone older can tell you, wisdom teeth will not give you wisdom. What they are good for is causing problems for you in your adolescent and adult years. Most folks find they don’t have the room for that third molar to fit in the back of their mouth.
Because of this problem, your wisdom teeth sometimes get encased in bone or gum tissue, and it will cause pressure and pain. It can cause an infection to develop that could damage adjacent teeth and jawbone. There have been situations where the wisdom teeth have caused tumors and cysts to develop that create even more significant problems and then require an even more significant oral surgery. If wisdom teeth try to erupt through your skin, they will crowd your existing teeth and cause them to push forward making for a not so appealing smile and increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Sedation/Anesthesia at the Time of Your Surgery
Our surgeons present a range of options for anesthesia that include nitrous oxide, local anesthesia, general anesthesia, and IV sedation. When you go for your surgical consultation, the dental surgeon will check your medical record, review your procedure, then decide on the best form of sedation/anesthesia.
In most surgeries, IV sedation is the recommended method. IV sedation uses a sedative type of medication that runs directly into your vein. As a patient, you will enter a physical and mental state of relaxation, and not be “under” as one does with general anesthesia. IV sedation alleviates anxiety and will allow total comfort while being safe. You will be recovering from your surgery before you know it.
