Wisdom teeth are the very back set of molars that emerge as a young adult. And in most cases, there isn’t enough space in the jaw for them to come in.
Other times, wisdom teeth come in sideways or become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can be painful, develop infections, or may even damage the adjacent molars or their roots. At Fairfax Dental Esthetics in Fairfax, VA we typically recommend wisdom teeth removal in the teen years which often results in a faster recovery from surgery and can prevent dental issues that cause bigger problems as an adult.
Wisdom Teeth Removal prevents issues like:
- Jaw bone pain or damage
- Facial Swelling
- Damage to other teeth
- Gum disease
- Abscesses or cysts
- Soft tissue damage
At Fairfax Dental Esthetics in Fairfax, VA, our team ensures that wisdom teeth extractions are as comfortable and carefree as possible. Wisdom teeth removal is extremely common and very routine and can provide the relief you need from symptoms like pain and pressure. Soothing sedation dentistry services are available if dental fear or anxiety are present. Depending on a variety of factors, wisdom teeth can be removed while you are awake, with a local anesthetic, or while you are asleep. Fairfax Dental Esthetics is happy to discuss your treatment options well in advance of the tooth removal procedure so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
Botox for TMJ
Botox injections can provide relief for those suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder by relaxing the overactive muscles around the jaw joint. When the muscles are too tense, it can cause pain, teeth grinding, jaw clicking, and limited jaw mobility. Botox works by temporarily weakening these muscle contractions, alleviating compression on the TMJ and reducing associated symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and lockjaw.
