What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
- Professional Extraction: Wisdom Tooth Removal is a specialized dental procedure involving the extraction of the third set of molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth.
- Common Reasons for Extraction: Wisdom teeth are often extracted due to issues like impaction, crowding, misalignment, or the prevention of potential future problems.
- Preventive and Curative: Whether as a preventive measure or to address existing problems, Wisdom Tooth Removal at A2Z Dental is tailored to each patient’s unique situation.
When and Why Wisdom Tooth Removal?
- Emergent Situations: Wisdom teeth typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. Removal may be recommended if they cause pain, swelling, or other complications.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth, which don’t fully erupt, can lead to pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth, making removal necessary.
- Misalignment and Crowding: When wisdom teeth cause crowding or misalignment of existing teeth, their removal can prevent further dental issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wisdom teeth can cause various problems, including:
- Impaction: When they don’t erupt fully and remain trapped within the jawbone. This can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.
- Crowding: Wisdom teeth can crowd existing teeth, causing misalignment and shifting.
- Gum disease: Impacted wisdom teeth can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to gum inflammation and infection.
- Cyst formation: In rare cases, wisdom teeth can develop cysts that damage surrounding bone and tissue.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. If they erupt fully, are healthy, and don’t cause any problems, they can be monitored. However, dental professionals often recommend removing wisdom teeth if they:
- Are impacted
- Cause pain, swelling, or discomfort
- Damage surrounding teeth
- Contribute to gum disease
- Are at risk of developing cysts
Wisdom teeth are typically easier to remove when they have not fully formed roots, usually between the ages of 16 and 20. Removing them at this age also reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster healing.
After wisdom teeth removal, you can expect some pain, swelling, and discomfort. You may also experience difficulty opening your mouth and chewing. Your dentist will provide specific instructions for managing these symptoms, including:
- Taking pain medication
- Applying ice packs to the area
- Eating soft foods
- Rinsing your mouth with salt water
- Avoiding strenuous activity
Most people recover from wisdom teeth removal within a few days. However, complete healing may take up to a week or two. Your dentist will advise you on returning to your regular activities.
Like any surgical procedure, wisdom teeth removal carries some risks, such as:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Dry socket (painful condition where the blood clot at the extraction site dissolves)
- Nerve damage
- Sinus problems
However, these risks are rare, and the benefits of removing problematic wisdom teeth outweigh the risks in most cases.
The cost of wisdom teeth removal varies depending on several factors, including:
- The number of teeth being removed
- The complexity of the procedure
- The type of anesthesia used
- The location and experience of the dental professional
It’s important to discuss the cost with your dentist before scheduling the procedure. The cost varies from $320 to $520 per wisdom tooth.
Many dental insurance plans cover some or all of the cost of wisdom teeth removal after you have served the waiting period. However, coverage varies depending on your specific plan. It’s best to contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage details.
Alternative to health insurance are payment plans. Please call our amazing team members who can help you. Another alternative is a dedicated health plan called Your Health Wallet.
Yes, it’s important to discuss your wisdom teeth with your dentist during regular checkups. They can monitor your wisdom teeth development, assess any potential problems, and recommend appropriate treatment options.
By understanding the facts about wisdom teeth and asking informed questions, you can make the best decisions regarding their removal and ensure optimal oral health.
