"Tell me about partially visible wisdom teeth in Louisville"
Partially visible
wisdom teeth in Louisville are
susceptible to bacteria that can cause wisdom tooth infection. Cysts and tumors can grow on a trapped wisdom tooth, causing irritation
and some pain as well as diseases of the gums.
Another problem occurs
when the second molar, the last tooth before the wisdom tooth, is
damaged as the wisdom tooth grows in without enough room.
The younger the patient, the easier the
healing will be, which is another reason not to wait before removing
impacted wisdom teeth. At Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, we perform this oral surgery under anesthesia, providing
patients with maximum comfort while keeping the procedure efficient and
cost-effective. Local anesthetic (such as novocaine) is always used, but
you may opt for additional comfort with nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"),
IV sedation (twilight sleep) or deep sedation (general anesthesia.)
