Wisdom Teeth Extractions Made Simple and Comfortable
Impacted or painful wisdom teeth?
Greenstone Dental specializes in gentle wisdom teeth extractions to protect your oral health and prevent future complications.
When and Why Wisdom Teeth Need Removal?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often emerge in your late teens or early twenties. While they don’t directly cause crowding, they can become impacted or grow at odd angles due to lack of space in the jaw. This can lead to problems like pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. Extracting problematic wisdom teeth is a common and proactive way to protect your overall oral health.
Did You Know? Wisdom teeth often develop partially or remain trapped under the gums, making them vulnerable to decay and infection.
