Wisdom Tooth Extraction Colorado Springs
Saying Goodbye to Wisdom Teeth Before They Cause Problems
The wisdom teeth, sometimes called the third molars, are found at the very back of the mouth – and in all honesty, they’re often more trouble than they’re worth since they can cause various dental issues. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure used to prevent pain, crowding, or other potential complications that are caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth. To learn more about the wisdom tooth extraction process, or to schedule a consultation to see if it’s time for your wisdom teeth to come out, don’t hesitate to contact our office.

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
Right before the wisdom tooth extraction procedure, we’ll numb your mouth to ensure that you’re comfortable. The process by which the teeth are extracted depends on whether they’re impacted or not. If the teeth are impacted, a small incision may be made to remove them in smaller sections. In other cases when they’re erupted as anticipated, they can be removed using forceps.
Recovery usually takes a few days, with mild swelling and discomfort that can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, and other at-home remedies. In any case, Dr. Waite and our team will provide you with detailed instructions to follow to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery!
