Wisdom Teeth in Arlington, TX
Wisdom Teeth Arlington care focuses on evaluating, monitoring, and treating third molars that may
cause pain, crowding, or infection. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, and they often do not
have enough space to emerge properly. At All Dental Arlington, wisdom teeth treatment is based on
careful assessment and patient comfort.
Not all wisdom teeth require removal, but when problems develop, timely evaluation can help prevent
complications such as infection, damage to nearby teeth, or jaw discomfort.

Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually appear during the late teens or early twenties.
While some people develop wisdom teeth without issues, many experience problems due to limited space
or improper positioning.
When wisdom teeth do not erupt fully or grow at an angle, they may become impacted.
Impacted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, leading to inflammation, infection, and discomfort.
When Wisdom Teeth Removal May Be Recommended
Wisdom teeth removal may be recommended if evaluation shows that the teeth are likely to cause
current or future oral health problems. Common reasons include:
- Pain or pressure in the back of the mouth
- Swelling or redness around the gums
- Repeated infection near the wisdom teeth
- Damage or risk to nearby teeth
- Crowding or shifting of other teeth
- Difficulty cleaning the area properly
Wisdom teeth removal is often easier when performed before complications develop.
Wisdom Teeth Arlington Evaluation Process
An evaluation for wisdom teeth includes a clinical exam and diagnostic imaging to assess
tooth position, root development, and proximity to surrounding structures.
Based on these findings, the dentist will determine whether monitoring, delayed treatment,
or wisdom teeth extraction is recommended.
What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common dental procedure designed to remove problematic third molars
safely and effectively. The complexity of the extraction depends on whether the tooth is fully erupted,
partially erupted, or impacted.
Comfort measures are used to help minimize discomfort during the procedure.
After extraction, post-treatment instructions are provided to support proper healing.
Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Recovery after wisdom teeth removal varies from patient to patient.
Mild swelling, tenderness, or stiffness is common and typically improves over several days.
Following care instructions helps reduce the risk of complications and promotes faster healing.
Most patients return to normal activities within a short period.
Benefits of Timely Wisdom Teeth Treatment
Addressing wisdom teeth concerns early offers several benefits:
- Reduced risk of infection
- Protection of neighboring teeth
- Prevention of crowding and alignment issues
- Improved oral comfort
