Residents in Warren, MI seek a dentist for safe and effective removal of wisdom teeth

In the late teenage years and early 20s, the third molars can emerge. Also known as "wisdom teeth," they can become impacted between the gum tissue and jawbone when they improperly emerge. The result can be teeth pushed out of place, gum tissue infection surrounding the wisdom teeth, swelling, and pain. Residents in Warren, MI do not have to look far for a dentist who provides safe and effective removal of wisdom teeth. In fact, they can find a team of dentists at Laser Dental Associates in Sterling Heights.

Exploring wisdom tooth removal

The first step toward relief of pain that may be caused by the wisdom teeth is to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists. We will ask about your symptoms, review your medical history, and thoroughly examine the mouth, teeth, and gums to determine the right treatment. We may take X-rays of the mouth as well. If we recommend extraction of the wisdom teeth, we will create a treatment plan so you know what to expect throughout treatment.

Providing gentle dental care throughout treatment

We can extract wisdom teeth before or after they emerge from the gum line. Patients can rest assured they are in gentle hands with our dental team. We can provide sedatives to ease anxiety. We also will explain proper aftercare instructions to ensure the utmost comfort after the procedure. We remove wisdom teeth to prevent potential damage to other teeth and the jaw. The extra set of molars can push other teeth out of alignment, causing bite problems.

The purpose of extractions

In addition to wisdom teeth removal, other teeth may need to be extracted for various reasons. Trauma can damage a tooth so severely that the only option is extraction. Teeth that are severely decayed or cannot be saved during root canals may also need to be extracted. Regardless of the reason for extraction, the ultimate goal is to provide relief from pain and restore health and optimal function to the smile.
