Most jaws simply don’t have enough room for wisdom teeth to come in straight, which can lead to aching gums, crowding, or trapped infections. At Sunrise Dental Everett, our doctors use 3D imaging and custom sedation options to remove wisdom teeth gently and smoothly right here in our office—so you or your teen can recover comfortably at home.
Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
While some lucky individuals have enough room for their wisdom teeth to grow in properly, they are the exception rather than the rule. At Sunrise Dental Everett, our doctors closely monitor the development of your third molars during routine exams. We strongly recommend proactive wisdom teeth removal to prevent or treat the following complications:
Painful impaction
When a wisdom tooth cannot break through the jawbone or gum tissue due to lack of space, it becomes impacted. This can cause severe, throbbing pain in the back of the jaw, localized facial swelling, and chronic referred headaches.
Orthodontic crowding / overcrowding teeth
As wisdom teeth try to force their way in, they exert immense pressure on your adjacent molars. This continuous pressure can cause your previously straight teeth to shift, rotate, and overlap—potentially undoing years of expensive orthodontic alignment.
Pericoronitis (gum infections)
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create deep, hard-to-clean flaps in the gum tissue. Bacteria and food debris easily become trapped underneath, leading to pericoronitis—a painful, swollen, foul-tasting, and recurrent localized gum infection that can cause jaw stiffness.
Cysts and bone damage
An impacted wisdom tooth can form a fluid-filled sac (cyst) around its crown within the jawbone. If left untreated, this cyst can expand, hollowing out the jawbone and permanently destroying the roots of healthy neighboring teeth.
Tooth decay
Because wisdom teeth are located so far back in the mouth, they are notoriously difficult to brush and floss effectively. Plaque accumulates rapidly between the wisdom tooth and adjacent molar, making both teeth highly susceptible to deep, non-restorable cavities.
The comfort of sedation dentistry
We completely understand that the thought of having your wisdom teeth removed can cause significant dental anxiety. At Sunrise Dental Everett, your physical and emotional comfort is our highest priority.
We offer a full spectrum of comfortable sedation dentistry options for wisdom teeth extractions—from soothing nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation to deep IV sedation. Deeper sedation options allow you to drift into a peaceful, sleep-like state during your procedure. You will feel no pain, experience no anxiety, and wake up feeling rested with little to no memory of the procedure itself!
