Wisdom Teeth Removal in Littleton, CO | Southbridge Dentistry
Wisdom teeth or 3rd molars are often removed in the late teenage to early twenty years to avoid complications when you are in the later stages of life. Young adults can handle the surgery much better than someone in their 60’s or 70’s. Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed and a panoramic x-ray and evaluation is needed to see if yours need to come out. At Southbridge Dentistry serving Littleton, CO, we recommend early evaluation and removal when necessary, as younger adults tend to recover more quickly and experience fewer complications than older patients.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal is Important
Not all wisdom teeth require extraction, but impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can cause pain, infections, and damage to adjacent teeth. A panoramic x-ray and thorough dental evaluation are essential to determine if your wisdom teeth need removal.
