Do I Need Tooth Extraction?
Common reasons that tooth extractions from our emergency dentist in Copperas Cove, TX are needed include:
- The presence of additional teeth that keep necessary ones from erupting properly
- Orthodontic treatment requires the removal of one or more teeth for maximum success
- Primary (“baby”) teeth don’t fall out soon enough to accommodate the arrival of adult teeth
- Accommodating a new full or partial denture
- Concerns regarding wisdom teeth
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
One of the most common reasons for tooth extraction is the development of a patient’s third molars (also known as “wisdom teeth”). These teeth are the last permanent additions to a patient’s smile, usually arriving somewhere between 17 to 21 years of age. However, by this point, there is often very little space left in the mouth to accommodate wisdom teeth, which can lead to impaction, improper eruption, infections, facial swelling, periodontal disease, considerable pain, and other unpleasant consequences. Our doctors will keep a close eye on this area as patients grow, and we may recommend wisdom tooth extractions as a preventive measure if there is a high risk of future complications.
