Understanding Your Wisdom Teeth
Our ancestors had wider jaws that left room for these extra molars. Today’s smaller jaws often can’t fit them. As a result, wisdom teeth may come in only partway, tilt sideways, crowd the teeth in front of them, or stay trapped beneath the gums.
Healthy, properly aligned wisdom teeth can stay put. When they cause pain, swelling, or damage, removing them is usually the best way to protect the rest of your mouth. If you’re in Mueller and think you may need an extraction, our Austin team can examine your teeth and explain your options.

How Removal Helps You
1
Less Pain and Swelling
A troublesome wisdom tooth can leave your jaw sore, your gums puffy, and your days uncomfortable. Taking it out removes the source.
2
Healthier Neighboring Teeth
Crowded or impacted wisdom teeth can push against or damage the teeth beside them, as well as the surrounding gum tissue. Extraction helps keep that from happening.
3
Fewer Problems Down the Road
Dealing with a problem tooth early lowers your risk of infection, decay, and more involved treatment later.
4
A Smooth Return to Normal
With good aftercare, you can heal comfortably and get back to work, school, and your usual activities.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction FAQs
Do all wisdom teeth have to come out?
No. Wisdom teeth that are healthy, fully erupted, and easy to clean can often stay. We usually recommend removal when they cause pain, infection, or crowding, or when they threaten the teeth around them. An exam and X-rays will show which category yours fall into.
Is a painful wisdom tooth an emergency?
Often, yes. Pain usually means a tooth isn’t coming in properly or an infection is developing. Without treatment, it can lead to swelling, damage to nearby teeth, and ongoing discomfort. Call (512) 961-6200 to be seen quickly. If swelling spreads to your face or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest emergency room.
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?
The price depends on how many teeth are coming out, how they’re positioned, and whether they’re impacted. After your exam, we’ll give you an estimate. We also offer payment plans and accept a range of insurance plans to make treatment more manageable. See our insurance and financing pages for more information.
Will the extraction hurt?
The procedure itself shouldn’t. We numb the area with local anesthetic, and sedation is available if you’d like extra help relaxing. Most patients feel only pressure. Some soreness and swelling afterward is normal, and we’ll tell you how to manage it. Call us right away if your pain becomes severe or something feels wrong.
What are the risks of leaving a problem wisdom tooth in place?
Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can cause repeated infections, swelling, and damage to the molars beside them. In some cases they can also lead to cysts that affect the surrounding jawbone. Removing the tooth early helps you avoid these complications.
