What You Should Know About Wisdom Teeth Removal
If you still have your wisdom teeth, you may eventually need them removed. Our dentists will take X-rays and perform a full evaluation to determine:
- Whether there is enough space in your jaw for the teeth to come in properly.
- If they are growing straight or becoming impacted.
- Whether they may shift other teeth (especially if you’ve worn braces).
While wisdom teeth removal is similar to other tooth extractions, it’s usually recommended during the teenage years to prevent complications. However, we also perform wisdom tooth extractions for adults when needed.
General extractions are more common as patients age, especially when teeth are affected by severe infection or significant damage. To find out if you should keep or remove your wisdom teeth, call (858) 926-2334 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Faith.

What to Expect Before, During & After Your Tooth Extraction
