Wisdom teeth better OUT than IN

HOBOKEN, N.J. - May 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Dr. Calat was interviewed and published in Seventeen Magazine

Q: I’m sixteen years old, am I really getting four more teeth?

A: Almost all young people develop a third set of molars, called wisdom teeth.

Q: Where will they fit?

A: They struggle to push their way into the very back of your already full mouth of teeth. If they can’t erupt through your gums, they become impacted.

Q: Should I have them pulled?

A: Wisdom teeth whether they erupt into your mouth or become impacted, can cause oral health problems in the future. It’s best to have them evaluated for possible removal while you are in high school and before they fully develop.

Q: I just finished braces. What about me?

A: You worked hard for that beautiful smile. Why let wisdom teeth spoil it?

Q: Who is the wisdom teeth expert?

A: Just like a dermatologist is the best choice for a skin problem; a board certified oral surgeon is the best specialist for wisdom teeth.

Q: What’s the surgery like?

A: It takes just a short time in the convenience and safety of an oral surgeons office. You will be made super comfortable and will be able to sleep through the entire procedure.

Q: How will I feel afterward?

A: You’ll want to rest after you get home, many patients are back to hanging out with friends that evening. You can enjoy lots of ice cream and smoothies for a couple of days.
