Why Wisdom Teeth Need to Come Out
Whether they’re causing pain or not, wisdom teeth often create future problems. At Bentley Dental, we provide safe, gentle wisdom teeth extractions in Fort Worth to protect your oral health—and your peace of mind.
Because waiting for a problem isn’t a strategy. Prevention is.
Wisdom teeth (your third molars) are the last to erupt, usually between ages 17–25. Most mouths simply don’t have room for them, and when left in, they can:
Cause crowding or shifting of other teeth
Lead to impaction (trapped under gum or bone)
Increase risk of infection or gum disease
Damage nearby teeth or dental work
Trigger chronic pain or headaches
A healthier bite, no unexpected pain, and a future without dental emergencies.
Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Pain or swelling at the back of the jaw
Gum tenderness or bleeding
Jaw stiffness or discomfort when opening
Crowding or movement of nearby teeth
Bad breath or unpleasant taste from infection
Headaches or facial pressure
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing symptoms, we may recommend removal as a preventive measure—especially for teens and young adults.
