Inadequate space in the mouth does not allow the wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional in most patients. When this happens, the tooth can become impacted (stuck) in an undesirable or potentially harmful position. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to infection, damage to other teeth, and possibly cysts or tumors.

At BridgeView Dental Health Clinic, Mission Dental Office, at your first visit and throughout your treatment our Dental professionals will examine your wisdom teeth and will recommend Extraction or watch periods depending on age, condition and degree of tooth impaction. For the apprehensive patient, our office offers anxiety control solutions in order to enhance the procedure experience. Please contact us for more information.
