What Should First-Time Patients Know About Wisdom Teeth Removal in Tijuana?

Near the top of the list is Tijuana wisdom teeth removal, a sought after destination for patients who desire professional care at a fraction of the cost.

All About Wisdom Tooth Removal

Safe and affordable wisdom teeth removal procedure for first-time patients in Tijuana

Wisdom teeth, or third molars usually show up somewhere between age 17-25.
In the past, they helped to chew down harder foods but now tend to cause more trouble than good.

If there is not enough space in the mouth, wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infections or harm adjacent teeth.
Extraction is a brief outpatient surgery performed by either a dentist or oral surgeon.
It’s about extracting the bad teeth before they cause further damage.
Some patients have all four wisdom teeth removed, others need one or two taken out.

Why Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

Dentists suggest removal when these teeth create problems such as:

  • Partial eruption, which makes cleaning harder and leads to repeated infections
  • Lack of space, causing other teeth to shift
  • Teeth stuck in the jawbone pressing against others
  • Incorrect growth angles that affect surrounding teeth
  • Interference with orthodontic treatments
  • Helps to prevent future issues like cysts, gum disease or jawbone damage
