Wisdom Teeth Extractions San Mateo, CA

Don’t wait for pain or disruption.

Wisdom teeth can emerge anytime during the late teens, 20s, or even early 30s. Dentists often recommend removing them before they erupt, as they’re frequently misaligned and can crowd or damage nearby teeth. Even if they grow in without immediate issues, wisdom teeth are notoriously difficult to clean—making them prone to decay and infection later in life.

If you have been advised to have your wisdom teeth removed, don’t wait for pain or complications to develop. Call San Mateo Dental Care at (650) 294-3555 to schedule your consultation today.

Wisdom Teeth FAQ

When a tooth is unable to fully enter the mouth, it is said to be “impacted.” In general, impacted teeth are unable to break through the gums because there is not enough room. Nine out of ten people have at least one impacted wisdom tooth.

If left in the mouth, impacted wisdom teeth may damage neighboring teeth, or become infected. Because the third molar area of the mouth is difficult to clean, it is a site that invites the bacteria that leads to gum disease. Oral bacteria may travel from your mouth through the bloodstream, where it may lead to possible systemic infections and illnesses that affect the heart, kidneys and other organs.1, 2, 3

Research has shown that once periodontal disease is established in the third molar areas, the problem is persistent and progressive, but may improve following extraction of the teeth.4, 5, 6 In some cases a fluid-filled cyst or tumor may form around the base of the untreated wisdom tooth. As the cyst grows it may lead to more serious problems as it hollows out the jaw and damages surrounding nerves, teeth and other structures.

Many people believe that as long as they are not in pain, they do not have to worry about their wisdom teeth. However, pain free does not mean disease or problem free. In fact, wisdom teeth that come in normally may still be prone to disease, according to a study by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation. AAOMS strongly recommends that third molars be evaluated by the time a patient is a young adult in order to assess the presence of third molars, disease status, and to suggest management options.

In general, dental and medical professionals agree that wisdom teeth should be removed in the following instances:

  • Infections and/or periodontal disease
  • Pathologies such as cysts, and tumors
  • Cavities that cannot be restored
  • Damage to neighboring teeth

Before surgery, your doctor will discuss the procedure with you and tell you what to expect. This is a good time to ask questions. Also talk to your doctor about any concerns you have. Be sure to let your doctor know about any illness you have and medications you are taking.

There are several conditions that affect how easy it will be to remove a wisdom tooth. These conditions include how the tooth is positioned and the stage of root development. If the wisdom teeth are impacted the surgery might be more complicated.

Most of the time third molars can be removed with little or no pain. Usually they can be extracted at office. Patients are given either oral conscious sedation, local anesthesia, or intravenous (IV) sedation. Your doctor will recommend the anesthetic option that is right for you.

Following surgery, you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, which are part of the normal healing process. Cold compresses may help decrease the swelling, and medication prescribed by your doctor can help manage the discomfort. You may be instructed to modify your diet following surgery and later progress to more normal foods.

If after discussing your situation with your doctor, if you decide to keep your wisdom teeth, be sure to take particular care in cleaning and flossing your teeth, especially the molars. Your third molars must be professionally examined regularly and x-rays of your wisdom teeth should be taken every year to make sure that the health of your teeth and gum tissue does not change.

“He came in during the long holiday to take care of my broken front tooth.”

“Dr. Taw was fantastic. He came in during the long holiday to take care of my broken front tooth. I had tripped and fallen and my tooth broke. He was able to do a permanent crown on the same day. The crown looks like my natural tooth, my friends couldn’t even tell that it had to be repaired. It was super convenient to be able to get the permanent crown the same day instead of getting a temporary and then waiting for the permanent, especially since I drove in from Sacramento. It was worth the 2.5 hour drive. Dr. Taw was gentle and talented. His assistant was professional and knew exactly what she was doing. It was a horrific accident but they made the repair and the whole dental experience easy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.”
