What Are Wisdom Teeth & Why Do We Have Them?
Our ancestors had broader jaws than us, and could handle this third set of molars without any issues. But modern humans have smaller jaws, and this means that, for lots of people, this final set of molars won’t fit properly. The wisdom teeth may not erupt all the way, grow in sideways, and even damage the nearby teeth. For this reason, wisdom teeth are often removed once they erupt. If you think you may need wisdom teeth extraction in Austin, contact us today.

FAQs about Emergency Dental Care
Why Do I Need To Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
You only need to have your wisdom teeth removed if they're not healthy, and they're causing issues with your oral health. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, they don’t need to be removed. But if they're causing pain, discomfort, or damage to your other teeth, your dentist will likely recommend wisdom tooth extraction.
My Wisdom Teeth Are Hurting Me, Is This An Emergency?
Yes. If your wisdom teeth hurt, this is likely a sign that they're not growing into your mouth properly, and this is an emergency. Left untreated, unhealthy wisdom teeth can cause problems like tooth infections, damage to the surrounding teeth, and serious pain and discomfort. Contact us as soon as possible at (512) 961-6200 to schedule the emergency care you need in Austin.
What is the cost of wisdom teeth extraction in Austin?
The cost of wisdom teeth extraction in Austin can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the extraction, the number of teeth being removed, and whether they are impacted. At Emergency Dentist of Austin, we strive to provide affordable and competitive pricing for all our services. During your initial consultation, our dentist will perform a thorough examination and provide you with a detailed estimate of the costs involved. We also offer flexible payment plans and work with various insurance providers to help make the procedure as affordable as possible for our patients.
Is wisdom teeth extraction painful?
With modern anesthesia and sedation techniques, the wisdom teeth extraction procedure itself is not painful. You will receive local anesthesia to numb the extraction site, and you may also be offered sedation options to help you relax during the procedure.
Most patients only feel slight pressure during the extraction. After the procedure, it is normal to experience some discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications and over-the-counter remedies. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote a speedy recovery. If you experience severe pain or complications, you should contact us immediately.
Why is wisdom teeth extraction necessary?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause dental problems because they can become impacted or grow in misaligned. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. They can also cause cysts or tumors, which can damage the jawbone and surrounding tissues.
By removing wisdom teeth early, you can prevent these complications and maintain better oral health. Our team at Emergency Dentist of Austin is experienced in assessing and removing wisdom teeth to help you avoid future dental issues.
