Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. For many patients, these teeth cause problems like impaction, pain, swelling, or shifting of adjacent teeth. At Emergency Dentist of Chicago, we offer professional wisdom tooth extractions to alleviate discomfort and protect your long-term dental health.

Our team is experienced in evaluating and removing problematic wisdom teeth, whether they are partially erupted, impacted, or growing at an angle. We use digital imaging to assess the position of the tooth and its roots, ensuring precise planning and a smooth procedure. Depending on your unique case, the extraction may be simple or surgical. Rest assured, we prioritize patient comfort, using local anesthesia and sedation options to help you relax.

Delaying wisdom tooth removal can lead to infection, cyst formation, or even damage to nearby teeth. That’s why we encourage early evaluation. Whether you're in pain or were advised to have them removed as a preventive measure, our dental team is here to help you make an informed decision.

Benefits

The Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Prevents Crowding and Misalignment

Removing wisdom teeth early helps protect the alignment of surrounding teeth, reducing the risk of future orthodontic complications.

Relieves Pain and Inflammation

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause swelling, jaw stiffness, and persistent discomfort. Extractions provide immediate relief.

Prevents Infections and Abscesses

Trapped food and bacteria around impacted teeth often lead to gum infections or abscesses. Extraction removes this risk entirely.

Simplifies Future Dental Care

Once wisdom teeth are removed, cleaning becomes easier, reducing the risk of cavities or gum disease in the back of the mouth.
