Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Cochrane, AB

Contact Our Dental Office Today

Many people think that more teeth in our mouths are better in order to help us chew. However, this is not always the case. When the third set of molars appear, called the wisdom teeth, they often need to be removed. When there is not enough room on the jaw to accommodate the wisdom teeth, this causes the wisdom teeth to push against the other teeth. Dr. Kostyk will extract wisdom teeth in the office making your procedure convenient and comfortable in a familiar setting with a doctor that you trust.

Potential Effects of Not Removing Your Wisdom Teeth

Sometimes the wisdom teeth can partially come through the gums. In these circumstances, bacteria can enter around the teeth, which can then lead to infection. Swelling, pain, and illness are all possible side effects that this can have on you. Teeth may shift position if the wisdom teeth continue to grow or cause major damage. The pressure that wisdom teeth place on the mouth may cause a cyst or tumour to form, damaging the surrounding bone or roots of the teeth.

If removal of your wisdom teeth is necessary, Dr. Kostyk can assist you. If you have any concerns regarding your wisdom teeth, contact Dr. Kostyk, and she will be able to answer any of your concerns.
