Many people do not realize that although they are a natural development in your dental health, wisdom teeth can cause significant damage to a mouth and its teeth. Indeed, if you or your child are dealing with problems related to new molars, wisdom tooth extraction
may be the best solution. The Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center, P.A. offers teeth extractions for patients throughout the greater Hattiesburg area. Our surgeons are skilled in treating teeth that are impacted, infected or otherwise problematic, so you can trust us to handle your surgery and care.
Before removing a wisdom tooth, we will perform a thorough examination and look for signs and symptoms of infection. If any of your molars do need to be removed, we will administer anesthesia before the pulling. There are a number of reasons it is best to have an extraction, including:
- Reduction of pain in jaw and mouth
- Less likelihood of tooth decay
- Reduced opportunity for gum disease to develop
- Eliminated risk of infection
- Prevention of damage to rest of teeth
