Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Framingham, MA
Put Your Oral Health First!
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are located at the very back of the mouth and usually do not erupt until a person’s late teens or early 20s. However, most people don’t have enough room in their mouth to accommodate these teeth. At Atlantis Dental in Framingham, MA, we perform preventive and emergency wisdom teeth removal to prevent pain, infection, and misalignment. Delaying treatment can lead to unnecessary complications, including damage to neighboring teeth and potential overcrowding.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
Wisdom teeth removal is done after giving the patient anesthesia and can occur at the dentist’s office, an outpatient clinic, or a hospital. The location will depend on the complexity of the patient’s case and the dentist’s preferences.
Here are the basics of the tooth extraction procedure:
- Cut: An incision is made to expose the tooth and bone.
- Remove: The tooth and its root are extracted, sometimes in pieces. This step is crucial to prevent unnecessary pressure on neighboring teeth, which could lead to misalignment.
- Clean: The tooth socket is cleaned of debris.
- Stitch: The wound is stitched shut, and gauze is used to control bleeding and help with the formation of a blood clot.
Patients must be escorted home from their wisdom teeth removal and will leave with detailed instructions on how to care for the wound, clean their teeth and mouth, manage pain, follow eating instructions, understand expectations for healing, and determine when they can safely resume normal activities.
Some Facts About Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth can do a lot of damage. Though most people have their wisdom teeth removed before they cause any problems, others choose to take their chances and ultimately find themselves in a painful emergency.

Complications Caused by Wisdom Teeth
There was a time when humans needed their third molars. Our ancestors required those additional molars in their larger jaws to help them eat the chewy plants and raw meat of centuries ago. Our diets and needs have changed and evolution has eliminated the need for wisdom teeth. Most people have these extra teeth removed on their dentist’s or orthodontist’s recommendation before they have a chance to erupt and wreak havoc on your oral health.
Whether wisdom teeth break through the gums or not, they can cause:
- Severe pain
- Infection
- Crowding
- Bite misalignment
- Tooth damage
- Jaw damage
- Decay
- Sensitivity
- Stiffness
- Swelling
People who see their dentist regularly should never have to worry about the effects of wisdom teeth on their oral health because your Framingham dentist will keep an eye on their development. If any discomfort occurs in between dental visits, reach out to your dentist immediately to avoid complications and the need for emergency wisdom teeth extraction.
