| Wisdom Teeth Removal: What You Should Know |
Wisdom teeth, which occur predominantly in your teenage years, can be very painful when they are growing in. While wisdom teeth extraction remains one of the most frequently occurring dental extractions, some people are lucky enough to never develop wisdom teeth. For those who do develop wisdom teeth, unfortunately many remain impacted in the bone and never fully erupt through the gumline correctly. This can cause problems by changing the alignment of existing teeth. Due to their placement at the very back of the oral cavity and because many patient's mouths simply cannot support that many teeth, they can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort while chewing and speaking.
For most every patient, wisdom teeth eruption occurs in the late teen years. In some cases, the teeth may never erupt or cause any problems for patients and while they are made to erupt just as normal teeth do, sometimes an extraction is necessary when they do not behave as expected.
For those patients suffering from the pain associated with wisdom teeth, we can work up an assessment and determine if an extraction would eliminate the issues. We highly recommend early intervention before some of these extreme situations occur because once they do, it will require more invasive procedures.

| The Importance of Routine Teeth Cleanings |
Cleaning the teeth is a preventive dentistry procedure that helps keep the teeth from bacteria, tartar, and plaque. It helps ensure the teeth remain shiny and bright. Professional teeth cleaning helps prevent gum disease and reduce bad breath. During the cleaning process, a dentist can detect signs of oral cancer.
Additionally, teeth cleanings help reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease as well as diabetes. It reduces the danger of developing cavities and allows the dentist to check for other oral issues such as a bad bite and TMJ.
