Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Miami

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, typically between ages 17 and 25.

In many cases, there is not enough space in the jaw for these teeth to erupt properly. When this happens, they may:

• Become impacted (trapped under the gum or bone)
• Erupt partially
• Grow at an angle
• Cause pressure on neighboring teeth

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove these teeth when they pose a risk to oral health.

Extraction may be necessary if:

• There is pain or infection
• Gum inflammation (pericoronitis) develops
• Cysts form around the tooth
• Adjacent teeth are being damaged
• There is overcrowding
• Orthodontic treatment requires space
• Decay forms in hard-to-clean areas

Even when wisdom teeth are not causing symptoms, preventive removal may be recommended if future complications are likely.

Mild swelling, discomfort, and slight bleeding are normal during the first 24–48 hours.

Post-operative instructions typically include:

• Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding
• Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling
• Eat soft foods
• Avoid straws and smoking
• Avoid vigorous rinsing for 24 hours
• Take prescribed medications as directed
• Keep the area clean with gentle rinsing after 24 hours

Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
