Wisdom Teeth Removal & Oral Surgery in Santa Monica
Wisdom teeth can often cause discomfort, misalignment, and other oral health issues when they don’t grow properly. At Clove Dental in Santa Monica, our skilled oral surgeons provide expert wisdom tooth removal and oral surgery services to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. Whether you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or impacted teeth, our team is here to help protect your oral health.
What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, usually emerging in your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, there isn’t enough room in the mouth for them to grow correctly, leading to problems such as:
- Impaction – Wisdom teeth trapped under the gums or against other teeth.
- Crowding – Shifting of other teeth due to lack of space.
- Infection – Bacteria buildup around partially erupted teeth.
- Tooth & Gum Pain – Swelling, discomfort, and difficulty chewing.
Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery procedure that prevents these complications, helping to maintain long-term dental health.
Signs You Might Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
You may need wisdom tooth extraction if you experience:
- Pain in the Back of Your Mouth – Discomfort when eating or opening your jaw.
- Swollen or Bleeding Gums – Redness or inflammation near the wisdom teeth.
- Jaw Stiffness or Discomfort – Difficulty moving your jaw or frequent soreness.
- Frequent Infections – Recurring gum swelling or abscess formation.
- Crowding or Misalignment – Teeth shifting due to lack of space.
Early evaluation and removal can prevent more serious dental problems down the line.
