Often young adults between the ages of 17-25 will require extraction of wisdom teeth. They grow in the back of the mouth, and often become impacted, meaning there is not adequate room in the rear of the mouth to function properly. Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth can include pain, swelling and infection. The process for removal of wisdom teeth include a consult with a panoramic radiograph and discussion regarding sedation options. The patient is booked back at a later date for the extraction(s).
