Wisdom Teeth Removal in Allen, TX

Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, usually appear in the late teens or early twenties. For many patients, there isn’t enough room in the mouth for these teeth to come in properly, leading to pain, crowding, or infection.

At Dayglow Dentistry of Allen, we provide wisdom teeth removal to prevent future complications and keep your smile healthy.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removed

You may need an evaluation if you notice:

• Pain or swelling at the back of your mouth
  
• Red, tender, or bleeding gums
  
• Jaw stiffness or soreness
  
• Shifting or crowding of nearby teeth
  
• Repeated infections near the wisdom teeth
  

Sometimes, wisdom teeth don’t cause symptoms but are still impacted below the gums — which can only be detected through X-rays or CBCT imaging.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

Dr. Kim ensures your procedure is comfortable and stress-free. Here’s what to expect:

1. Evaluation – We use digital X-rays and CBCT scans to determine the position of your wisdom teeth.
   
2. Anesthesia & Sedation – Local anesthesia is always used, and sedation dentistry is available if you’d like extra relaxation.
   
3. Extraction – The wisdom teeth are gently removed using minimally invasive techniques.
   
4. Recovery Guidance – We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and comfort at home.
