Wisdom Teeth Extractions IN DRY RIDGE
Wisdom teeth extractions are a very common procedure. Wisdom teeth often cause problems which may not present until later in life. As a rule of thumb, both the cost and risk of complications increase as an individual gets older, so it’s always wise to have them removed before they start causing those problems. Often, we remove wisdom teeth as a precautionary measure because they cause a host of issues, including but not limited to: tooth decay, periodontal disease, and infection.
Here at Friendly Dental Co., we offer calming and stress-free options to remove these teeth. Please check out our sedation services or give us a call at (859) 823-0111. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have!
Extractions
If your tooth is decayed or broken beyond repair, we might recommend an extraction to prevent bacteria or decay from spreading to other teeth. With local anesthetic, gentle techniques, and sedation options, we strive to provide calm and comfortable extractions with minimal pain or discomfort.
