Wisdom Tooth Extraction Charleston
Giving Your Smile the Space It Deserves
When a teenager or young adult arrives complaining of pain toward the back of the mouth, we recognize this as a potential indicator of incoming wisdom teeth or “third molars.” Their attempt to erupt when space is lacking can result in pain, infection, or misalignment; however, with wisdom tooth extraction, we can eliminate the issue and give the smile the space it deserves. There is a very important window of time in life to remove wisdom teeth to keep it minimally invasive and with lower risks. If you have a teenager or are a young adult needing help with incoming wisdom teeth, call to get the dedicated care you need.

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
As one of the most common procedures performed on individuals typically between the ages of 17 and 21, extracting these teeth can mitigate future oral health problems like misalignment, overcrowding, and infection.
To remove wisdom teeth, Dr. David will take a CBCT (3D) image to determine if a simple or surgical procedure is required. For a fully erupted tooth, he will administer local anesthesia (and sedation, if needed) before using specialized instruments to carefully remove the tooth. There are times when Dr. David recognizes that the patient needs to see a specialist to assist with the removal of wisdom teeth, and he only works with the best. His team will refer you in a timely fashion to his oral surgeon specialists to get you the best care.
