What Are Wisdom Teeth? Understanding the Basics
There are many misconceptions about the third molars. Here are some facts that will help you understand what they are and why they can pose a problem.
Extra Set of Molars
Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that erupt in the very back of the mouth. Most people have four extra molars, two on upper row of teeth, and two on the lower row of teeth. It's possible to have fewer of these teeth develop and emerge.
Affect Teens & Adults
For most, the third molars erupt during the teenage years or early adulthood. It's possible for a wisdom tooth to come in much later in life, but the majority of people who see their dentist about these extra molars are in their teens and early twenties.
You Don't Need Them
Wisdom teeth aren't necessary. In fact, crowding from a wisdom tooth can make it difficult to clean the very back of the mouth. A wisdom tooth that comes in crooked can painfully press against other molars and cause tooth misalignment.
Signs of Wisdom Teeth Problems Top Reasons to Have Them Removed
An impacted wisdom tooth can increase your risk of tooth decay, fractures, and even root canal infections. If you experience any of the issues listed below, it's important to speak with a dentist or oral surgeon about wisdom tooth removal.
Toothaches
An impacted wisdom tooth pressing against an existing molar can cause persistent tooth pain. This will only get worse without treatment at our Brazoria practice.Crooked Teeth
As impacted third molar can press against the adjacent tooth, and this force can result in the rest of your teeth shifting position and becoming crooked over time.Facial Pain
Impacted third molars can also cause persistent jaw pain. Changes in your tooth alignment could cause soreness in the the sinus area as well.Frequent Cavities
The tight squeeze from the extra molars in the back of the mouth makes it difficult for your toothbrush or floss to remove food particles and plaque.Swollen Gums
Pain from tooth impaction or issues with oral hygiene could result in inflammation of the gums around the back of the mouth.Bad Breath
Oral hygiene challenges make it hard to have fresh breath. Bad breath is also a sign of cavities, gum disease, and root canal infections.Potential Problems with Wisdom Teeth Eruption

I cannot say enough about Dr. Adam Osga and his staff. Never have I been more comfortable while having a tooth extracted. Dr. Osga explained exactly what he was going to do and what I would feel and hear. Therefore, I was totally relaxed during the procedure. There was very minimal discomfort. Before I left his office I felt more like I had just spent time with friends. Each staff member I have met I would like to take home with me. They were helpful, cheerful and very professional. Aubrey is amazing. She cleaned my teeth during a prior visit and was so thorough and gentle that I truly enjoyed the time spent there. I am so very happy to have found Dr. Osga and his staff!

I had my tooth pulled a while ago, I am so scared of dentist. Dr. Osga was exceptional, did not feel anything from the needle of the anesthesia to the pulling of the tooth, he has very light hands & his bedside manner is wonderful, his dental assistant HILDA was very supportive & very calming to my frazzled nerves. I will go have any teeth pulled at this OSGA DENTAL office anytime. I was scared for nothing because the experience was calming & easy but most of all pain free.

Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure What to Expect from Treatment

Dr. Adam Osga can remove impacted wisdom teeth that negatively affect dental health and oral hygiene.
Recovering from Wisdom Teeth Extraction Healing after Oral Surgery
Recovering from wisdom teeth removal is similar to surgical recovery after dental implants have been placed. Be sure to follow all pre-op and post-op instructions to prevent adverse side effects.
Take time off from work or school so you can focus on rest. Avoid strenuous activities as well. This will help you recover faster, and gives you an opportunity to manage side effects in the early period after surgery.
Be sure to eat soft foods that do not require a lot of chewing. Soups, smoothies, and meal-replacement shakes are ideal. Avoid crunchy or chewy foods, especially anything that causes crumbs or has small seeds.
For the first 24 hours, don't brush your teeth or rinse your mouth. This helps blood clots form properly. After that period has passed, follow all of your instructions for post-op oral hygiene to reduce infection risks.
Tobacco products slow down surgical recovery times and increase the risk of infection and other complications. Avoid smoking before and after the oral surgery or kick the habit for good.
While you may be eating lots of shakes and smoothies, do not use drinking straws for at least a week. The suction in the mouth from using a straw can dislodge blood clots and require additional recovery time.
If you notice excessive pain, swelling, or bleeding, contact our Brazoria dental practice. These are common signs of post-op complications and require our immediate professional attention.

The Osga Dental Team are all very professional and caring. Dr. Osga is the best Dentist I’ve ever had. I had my teeth cleaned by Aubrey today and she did an awesome job. They always make me feel at ease and comfortable because I’m one of the nervous types. The ladies in the office are sweet and professional as well.

Dr. Osga is outstanding! Having seen his work i know that Brazoria is very fortunate to have him. A dentist with a personality and the ability to put you at ease. His obsession to detail and high standards put him in the top 10% of dentists in my opinion. Between the 3D images he uses for implants, the scanner he has that allow impressions for crowns without the traditional goop and the 3D printer he uses; patients are receiving a quality of care that rivals any other dental office.
