Wisdom Tooth Extractions Near You

Wisdom teeth often appear suddenly, bringing pain, swelling, or pressure in the back of your mouth. You’re not alone—millions of wisdom teeth are removed every year. At Reflections Dental Group, we take a gentle and supportive approach to your care. We are strong advocates for the timely removal of wisdom teeth—even if they are not causing symptoms—as they can contribute to issues such as crowding, gum disease, or even TMJ problems later in life. Dr. Mehta and our team will carefully evaluate your wisdom teeth, discuss your options, and guide you through a comfortable referral process to ensure you get the care you need with confidence.

Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Wisdom teeth are the final group of molars, often coming in between the ages of 17 to 25. Sadly, there’s usually not enough room in the mouth for wisdom teeth to grow the right way, which can cause:

  • Soreness or puffiness at the back of your mouth
  • Wisdom teeth that get stuck under the gums (impacted)
  • Other teeth shifting or crowding as a result
  • Infection/gum disease in the area

If you are experiencing any of the above issues, it would be best to visit a trusted dentist in NW Calgary for an exam and treatment options.
