At Westford Family Dental in Everett, WA, we understand that the thought of wisdom tooth extraction can cause a little anxiety. However, this common procedure is often essential for maintaining your oral health and preventing future complications. Let’s dive into why wisdom tooth extraction is important and how our dedicated team, led by Dr. Scott Westford, can ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for you.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually emerge in your late teens or early twenties. For some, these teeth come in without any issues, but for many, they can lead to a host of problems. Due to a lack of space in the jaw, wisdom teeth may become impacted, causing pain, swelling, and even infections. This is where extraction becomes necessary.
