Emergency Care
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically emerge at the back of the mouth in the late teens or early twenties. Because they often do not have enough room to come in properly, they can lead to crowding, impaction, infection, or damage to the neighboring teeth. That makes removal a common preventive recommendation rather than an emergency one. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, about 85% of third molars will eventually need to be removed. Our dentists assess each one individually before recommending anything.
Wisdom teeth often become trapped beneath the gumline or bone, causing pain, swelling, and pressure on the surrounding teeth and jaw structure.
When third molars push against neighboring teeth, they can disrupt your bite and undo the results of previous orthodontic treatment over time.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create pockets where bacteria thrive, leading to repeated infections, gum inflammation, and persistent bad breath.
Wisdom teeth are notoriously difficult to clean thoroughly, putting them and their neighboring molars at high risk for cavities and decay. GET STARTED TODAY About 85% of third molars will eventually need to be removed, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Dr Brendon and his whole staff are always great. Dr Brendon is highly knowledgeable, skilled and real accommodating to my special dental needs as I am getting older and have concerns with receding gums and tooth sensitivities. I am grateful that I can trust westgrove dental and that Dr Branden is young enough to continue with my dental needs into my older years.
