Pain Relief
Gentle Treatment
The most common reason for tooth extractions is problematic wisdom teeth, though a patient may need to have a tooth removed if it is severely infected or damaged and cannot be restored with root canal therapy. If you have a wisdom tooth that is posing a threat to the rest of your teeth such as overcrowding or impaction, removal may be necessary to avoid infection and other dental health issues.
Infected teeth or problematic third molars can cause excruciating pain. Gentle extraction will give you the relief you need.
Problematic wisdom teeth that are left untreated can lead to more severe issues, and extraction will help you avoid these problems.
At Jackson Family Dentistry, we offer gentle tooth extractions in a warm, caring environment, and sedation is always available.

Wisdom teeth typically grow in between the ages of 17-25, and though they are completely natural, they can often cause dental health issues when they grow in. If your third molars are putting the rest of your teeth at risk, one of our dentists will perform a gentle extraction to ensure that you maintain a strong, healthy smile. The treatment is performed under local anesthetic, so it is completely painless. Specialized tools are used to loosen the tooth in its socket and remove it, and your gums are then cleaned and sutured shut.
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that is unable to fully erupt from the gumline. This can cause excruciating pain, and a gentle extraction will give you the relief you need. The procedure to remove impacted wisdom teeth is performed with IV sedation, since the steps to extract the tooth require surgery. During the procedure, Dr. Major or Dr. Heffter will make a small incision in your gum to expose the tooth. Using professional-grade tools, one of our dentists break up the tooth, loosen it in its socket, and remove it completely. Your gums will be sutured shut, and will typically heal within a week of treatment.
No. Some wisdom teeth grow in normally and don’t cause any damage to the rest of your teeth or your gums. If your wisdom teeth are growing in painfully, call Jackson Family Dentistry for a consultation to determine whether your third molars should be removed.
Every tooth removal we perform at Jackson Family Dentistry is as gentle as possible. We use local anesthetic and always have sedation options available to ensure that the entire process is comfortable for you.
At Jackson Family Dentistry, we will always try to save an infected tooth with other restorative procedures before suggesting an extraction. We focus on conservative care and will only recommend removing a wisdom tooth when necessary. If your wisdom teeth are erupting and causing pain, or you believe that you may have an infected or severely damaged tooth, call us today at (262) 677-3003 to schedule a consultation to go over your options for extraction and restoration.
