At Pearlmax Oral Surgery of San Diego, California, Dr. German Trujillo and his team regularly hear from patients who need oral surgery procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction and removal. Whether a tooth is infected, decayed, or impacted, our team can assist and help determine if extraction is necessary. Below are some questions regarding wisdom tooth removal that are often heard in our office.
Where can I get my problematic wisdom teeth removed?
Oral surgery practices such as Pearlmax Oral Surgery in San Diego, California, can assist with the removal of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. Our provider is a skilled and experienced oral surgeon who provides various services, including the extraction of wisdom teeth and other teeth that might be causing overcrowding or are severely decayed or infected.
Why might I need wisdom teeth removal?
There are a few reasons why wisdom tooth removal may be necessary. One common reason is when wisdom teeth become impacted, meaning they do not have enough space in the mouth to fully emerge or grow in properly. This might lead to pain, infection, and even damage to other teeth. In some cases, wisdom teeth may also cause overcrowding in the mouth, leading to the misalignment of the other teeth. Another reason for extraction could be severe decay or infection in the wisdom teeth that cannot be treated with other dental procedures such as root canal surgery–or surgery that has been performed in the past and has been unsuccessful.

Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
Many patients are concerned about the possible pain associated with wisdom tooth removal. While some discomfort can be expected after the procedure, our team at Pearlmax Oral Surgery takes steps to ensure patients are comfortable from start to finish–even before they are seated in the dentist’s chair. Some patients will benefit not only from local anesthetics but from sedation methods as well, such as nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Dr. German Trujillo can help in determining the type of sedation and anesthetics right for your unique needs to ease the anxiety and nervousness you may be experiencing.
