What is wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars, which usually come in between ages 17 and 25. They are often removed when they are impacted, partly erupted, decayed, or crowding other teeth. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out; x-rays help decide.

Wisdom teeth removal: specialist or general dentist?

General dentists remove many erupted wisdom teeth. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons typically remove impacted wisdom teeth, especially those near the jaw nerve, and offer IV sedation or general anesthesia.

8 of Santa Ana's 39 clinics offering wisdom teeth removal have an oral surgeon on staff. See oral surgeons in Santa Ana
