Wisdom Teeth Removal in Goldsboro, NC

Part of the reason regular X-rays and oral exams are so important is so that we can let you know if wisdom teeth may present future problems. These are the last to break through the gums and can cause terrible pain if not dealt with early enough. This is why so many of our teen and adult patients require wisdom teeth removal in Goldsboro, NC. Carolina Dental Arts has an oral surgeon on staff to handle the procedure to save patients from unnecessary pain.

Wisdom Tooth Procedure Details

The position and stage of the wisdom teeth determine how easy or hard they'll be to remove. For example, one that's already gone through the gums is simple to take out, but one that's impacted is more difficult.

We believe it's best to be preventive and undergo wisdom teeth removal before they become a painful problem. Some issues to watch for and let us know of include the following:

Crowding of Teeth
Infected Gum Tissue Swells on Top of an Impacted Wisdom Tooth
Irritation or Pain Rubbing Against Your Cheek or Tongue

Should we determine you need your teeth out, we'll arrange removal and then provide a post-treatment plan. Depending on your circumstances, this could include medication, follow-up visits, and a diet consisting of soft food for a while. We also help you manage pain and prevent swelling. You can count on Carolina Dental Arts to be looking out for you before, during, and after the procedure.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Risks

Although the treatment is safe and effective, there are risks of complications involved in any medical or dental procedure. These can include bleeding, infection, dry socket, and nerve injury. You can help prevent these problems by following our dentist's instructions and refraining from smoking. Should you need it, we also offer emergency services that you can call if you're in pain and our office is closed. Dental problems aren't limited to normal business hours, so we aren't either.

However, even with the risks, it's typically better to go ahead with wisdom teeth removal than to allow the wisdom teeth to worsen. Doing so would not only cause you pain but also make you lose gum tissue and bone or become infected. The removal procedure is an investment that pays off for the rest of your life by helping you stay orally healthy.
