Do you have Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
A wisdom tooth is impacted when it fails to erupt completely from the gums. This can occur because the tooth has grown into or against the jawbone or adjacent teeth, making it difficult or impossible for it to break through the gum line fully. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various complications, including severe pain, recurring infections, and potential damage to nearby teeth.
Additionally, they can cause swelling, gum disease, and even cysts or tumors in some cases. If you suspect you have an impacted wisdom tooth, it often requires prompt attention and may even require oral and maxillofacial surgery for removal. Delaying treatment can exacerbate the problem and lead to more severe oral health issues.

Wisdom Tooth Pain: How Much Will It Hurt?
Wisdom tooth extraction pain primarily arises from inflammation. Our dentists and our dedicated dental team may apply an anti-inflammatory agent such as red light therapy to the extraction site or recommend a medication to address this. This approach significantly reduces swelling and inflammation, greatly alleviating post-extraction pain.
In some cases, we may be able to offer Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) to reduce the risk of dry sockets and expedite healing. PRF is an advanced technique that involves drawing a small blood sample and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors into a blood clot. This superclot accelerates healing and minimizes discomfort.
At Solis Dental, your comfort and swift recovery are our top priorities. By employing cutting-edge methods and technology we strive to provide you with the best possible post-extraction experience.
