Wisdom Tooth Extractions - Tyler, TX
Keeping Your Oral Health
On The Right Track
Many people don’t have wisdom teeth, but if you’re one of the 55 percent of people who are born with anywhere from one to four wisdom teeth, you’ll likely need to have them extracted to preserve the health of your smile. If your dentist in Tyler recommends having them removed, it’s only because they pose a threat to your other teeth if you allow them to grow in, or they’re impacted below the gum line and can become infected. To learn whether you need wisdom tooth extractions in Tyler, TX, visit our dental office today for a checkup.

When is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?
Our team only recommends wisdom tooth removal if they pose a threat to your oral health down the road or are at risk for becoming infected. Some other problems that they can cause if they grow in include:
- Their growth is causing severe pain.
- There isn’t enough room in your jawbone to allow them to grow in without causing misalignment.
- They’re impacted below the gums.
- Cysts have formed in the sacks where the wisdom teeth have grown in.
- Allowing them to grow in will increase your risk of developing oral infections.
