Pasadena, Texas Dentist: Third Molars
Getting your wisdom teeth out is a very common procedure. Often the third molars (wisdom teeth) become impacted. The third molars can cause severe damage to the teeth directly in front of them. Furthermore, wisdom teeth can cause gum tissue problems. Getting problematic wisdom teeth removed is very smart preventative dentistry.
Third Molar Extraction (Wisdom Tooth Removal) in Pasadena, TX
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop — usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have enough space in their jaw to accommodate these teeth, many patients experience issues that require extraction.
At our Pasadena dental office, Dr. Michael Nugent provides safe, comfortable, and precise wisdom tooth removal using the latest dental technology.
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need to Be Removed
Impaction – Teeth can become trapped beneath the gums or jawbone
Crowding – Emerging wisdom teeth may push other teeth out of alignment
Infection – Partially erupted molars can trap food and bacteria
Cysts – Untreated third molars can lead to cysts or jawbone damage
