At the practice of Drs. Rubinstein & Ducoff, the most common reason we perform tooth extractions are due to wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are molars which are located in the very back of your mouth that typically begin to erupt during the late teen, early adulthood years. Unfortunately, wisdom teeth often fail to erupt properly, becoming impacted, causing a range of complications and discomfort. Patients that are suffering from impacted wisdom teeth tend to experience gum tenderness, swelling, and even pain. Teeth that are partially erupted can be the perfect environment for tooth decay to form, recurring infections to occur and may even result in gum disease. At Drs. Rubinstein & Ducoff we understand that each patient is unique, prior to wisdom tooth removal, we use diagnostic imaging to ensure your wisdom teeth need to be removed and to make sure they are removed properly.
