Wisdom Teeth Extractions Tampa
When Extra Teeth Are No Longer Required
Wisdom teeth are also known as third molars – extra teeth located toward the back of the mouth that were once essential to early humans’ diets and overall health. No longer necessary because of the changes in jaw development and nutrition, these teeth are now considered problematic among many dental professionals. If you need help to address the increasing discomfort these molars are causing, call our office to schedule an appointment with Dr. Patrino.

Why the Wisdom Teeth Are Removed
Although it is true that some patients do not need to have their wisdom teeth removed, others (typically between the ages of 16 and 25) complain of serious pain, infection, and even shifting teeth. As a result, our team at Advanced Dental Associates of South Tampa will suggest wisdom tooth extraction.
Other reasons we may recommend this type of treatment include:
- Impaction, which means the teeth are below the gumline and pressing against healthy, fully erupted teeth
- Dental damage to nearby teeth
- Inability to properly clean these teeth, resulting in dental decay
- Tooth and bite misalignment
- Jawbone damage
- Cysts forming near the affected tooth or teeth
- Gum inflammation
