When a child's permanent teeth start to erupt and appear in the mouth, there's usually some pushing going on to make room for the adult teeth. Sometimes these erupting teeth can be problematic, especially with the third molars. When the jaw is not large enough to accommodate these teeth, they usually need to be removed before they become a bigger problem. Our board-certified doctors perform third molar extractions under anesthesia to ensure your child is as comfortable as possible during the wisdom tooth removal process.
