| What Do Oral Surgeons Say About Removing Your Wisdom Teeth? |
What are wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to come in and typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties when most people are just starting their careers and families.
Wisdom Teeth Often Become Impacted
The third molars erupt from the back of the jaw and can become impacted if they do not fully come in or if there is not enough room in your mouth for them to emerge properly. This can result in pain and swelling as well as crowding in your mouth that makes it difficult to eat normally and maintain your healthy smile.
Wisdom Teeth Are Usually Extracted
If your wisdom teeth are causing you trouble, your dentist may consider removing them to help your chew correctly and live a comfortable life free from pain. Wisdom teeth can damage nearby teeth, cause gum issues, and even negatively impact your overall health. Therefore, it is better to remove them to save the rest of your teeth. Our oral surgeon will cut through your gums to access your jawbone so that they can successfully remove the wisdom teeth without damaging your other teeth.

| How Many Teeth Can You Have Extracted At Once?
|
Perhaps you have badly decayed or damaged teeth that need an extraction or you sustained injuries during an accident and a dentist has recommended extraction of the injured teeth. You may be wondering whether you can have multiple teeth removed at once. In most cases, multiple teeth extraction can be accomplished in one appointment and it lasts several hours.
Usually, there is no clear-cut rule regarding the number of teeth a dentist or oral surgeon can safely extract within one sitting. The surgeon or dentist is the one able to determine how many teeth they can extract after doing an oral inspection and checking your medical history. With sedation dentistry, oral surgeons and dentists can now perform multiple extractions while the patient remains relaxed and comfortable. Sometimes, the patient can be put to sleep during the procedure. Talk to us about teeth extractions to learn more!

| What is PDO Threading? |
As we age our skin tends to naturally lose its elasticity. Sun exposure, cold and windy temperatures, and habits like smoking can also prematurely age our skin. When our skin loses its elasticity, skin sagging is a result. This leads to unwanted lines and wrinkles.
One way we can treat this is by performing a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure called PDO Threading. A thread lift is an alternative to a traditional facelift. A thread lift involves inserting threads into your skin, where the doctor is able to pull up your skin and therefore give you the lifted and tightening effect of the skin that your are looking for. A thead lift is less invasive than a facelift and is perfect for those who may not, or cannot, undergo general anesthesia.
At Mountain State Oral and Facial Surgery we are here to help you invest in yourself through refreshing, rejuvenating, and renewing your skin. Let us help you do this by offering a PDO thread lift here at our office. Contact us today for more information.
