What You Need to Know About Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are commonly impacted, which occurs when there isn’t enough room for them to fully emerge. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause discomfort, infections, or even shift surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment. At Sloop Dental, our team evaluates your specific case and removes wisdom teeth before they cause serious dental issues.

When Should You Consider Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal may be necessary if:

They are partially erupted and causing discomfort.
They are fully impacted, leading to pain, infection, or swelling.
They are misaligned, affecting nearby teeth.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Sloop Dental in South Loop, Chicago, for a wisdom teeth evaluation.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal

Our wisdom teeth removal process includes:

Before the Procedure

X-rays will be taken to diagnose impacted wisdom teeth, and local or general anesthesia will be administered, depending on your case.

During the Procedure

The dentist makes a small incision in the gums, removes the tooth (sometimes in sections), and stitches the area if needed.

After the Procedure

You will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including tips on managing pain, controlling bleeding, and avoiding activities that could dislodge the blood clot.
