How Wisdom Teeth Can Disrupt Your Smile
When they erupt incorrectly, wisdom teeth can move existing teeth out of place.
When to Consider Extraction
Wisdom teeth don’t always need to be removed, but certain symptoms are warning signs:
- Persistent Pain or Swelling: Ongoing soreness in the back of your mouth
- Tender or Inflamed Gums: Infection or irritation near the erupting tooth
- Crowding or Shifting Teeth: Wisdom teeth pressing against neighboring teeth
- Difficulty Opening Your Mouth: Limited movement or discomfort while chewing
- Unpleasant Taste or Odor: Often a sign of trapped bacteria or infection

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal in Littleton, CO
How long is the recovery?
You might experience mild pain and swelling for a few days. Ice packs, soft foods, and pain medication can help. You should be fully recovered within a few weeks.
Do we need wisdom teeth?
The drawbacks of keeping your wisdom teeth often outweigh potential benefits. This area of your mouth has limited space and is extremely difficult to keep clean.
Are there any risks to extraction?
Rarely. A painful dry socket could occur if the blood clot that forms after surgery is dislodged. This is why Dr. Krendl recommends not brushing in the surgical areas for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
Can implant-supported restorations replace wisdom teeth?
No, Dr. Krendl most likely would not place a dental implant where a wisdom tooth was extracted.
