Wisdom Teeth Grand Prairie

Woman smiling on white backgroundYour wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are the final set of teeth that arrive in your mouth. For certain patients, when they begin to enter, they can cause unfortunate problems by shifting existing teeth and potentially damaging their oral health. This is because your jaw may not have the room required to hold an entirely new set of molars without pressing against the others. In addition to pain and damage to your enamel, this pressure can throw off your dental alignment and impact your entire smile's appearance. At your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist's office, we can help you keep your smile straight by performing your wisdom teeth removal before they create problems in your mouth. By tracking their arrival at routine dental visits, we can alert you when it is time to remove them before they erupt and injure their neighbors. Being proactive means you do not have to wait until you experience painful symptoms to address this common oral health scenario.
