    Why Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Needed

    Third molars, more commonly known as the wisdom teeth, are the last ones to erupt in the oral cavity. Due to their late eruption, they may cause certain changes in the oral cavity. Possible indications why our dentists may suggest wisdom teeth removal in Piscataway, NJ, include:

    • Pain and discomfort: Around the time of their eruption, you will likely experience pain in the back of your mouth. It may increase over time if the wisdom teeth are crooked or impacted.
    • Difficulty in chewing food: The pain caused by third molars can also make it difficult to chew and swallow your food properly.
    • Lack of space: In many cases, the wisdom teeth may remain impacted in the jawbone due to lack of sufficient space. This can cause further issues.
    • Crooked eruption: Third molars may appear at an unusual angle due to limited space. It increases the risk of infection and also exerts pressure on adjacent teeth.
    • Infection and swelling: A partially erupted wisdom tooth may become infected and may cause swelling of the surrounding gums and oral tissues.

    Process of Wisdom Teeth Removal in Piscataway, NJ

    At the time of your oral evaluation, our dentist will examine your upper and lower third molars. If these teeth are partially or fully impacted, we will take digital scans to assess their size and angulation. Based on this information, we will finalize the approach for safe and painless wisdom teeth removal at our Piscataway facility.

    Firstly, we will inject a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. If your wisdom tooth is clearly visible above the gum line, we may extract it without any invasive techniques. However, if the tooth is impacted or damaged, we will proceed with surgical extraction.

    Rest assured that our dentists will ensure your comfort at every step of the process. After safely removing the tooth, we will close the surgical site with sutures and provide aftercare instructions for a successful recovery.
