Why is wisdom tooth extraction necessary?

A human person's mouth can fit 28 teeth without any problem. However, once a person reaches maturity, wisdom teeth start to break out -- bring the teeth count up to 32. Since the typical human mouth cannot accommodate the increase, crowding happens, which causes some wisdom teeth to become impacted. This, then, causes misalignment. However, for some people, it can get extremely painful.

No matter how painful it can get, some people still don't go for the extraction out of fear. However, wisdom teeth extraction is unavoidable, which is why dentists have come up with various techniques to help their patients through the procedure. In Southpark Oral Surgery, Dr. Kevin Bond and his staff help patients lower their anxiety during wisdom teeth extraction by making use of local anesthesia and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). For some cases, they make use of general anesthesia.

Going through a dental procedure can be scary. But, before letting fear get its way, think of your dental needs first. With various techniques dentists now offer, wisdom tooth extraction is no longer something to be afraid of! Say goodbye to your painful wisdom teeth now and schedule a visit with your local dentist.
