When a wisdom tooth is impacted, it will need to be removed by Dr. Davis. You may develop gum tenderness, swelling, jaw cyst, or even severe pain if it is not removed. Impacted wisdom teeth that are partially or fully erupted tend to be difficult to clean and susceptible to tooth decay, recurring infections, and even gum disease.
Wisdom teeth are typically removed during the late teens or early twenties because there is a greater chance that the roots have not fully formed and the bone surrounding the teeth is less dense. These two factors can make extraction easier, as well as making the recovery time much shorter, but each patient’s situation is unique.
We handle a high number of St George wisdom teeth extractions and patients come to us from St. George, Cedar, Hurricane, Kanab, Mesquite NV, Page AZ, and close-by communities.
