Wisdom Teeth treatment in La Paz

Wisdom teeth are the third molars, the last teeth to appear, generally at the end of adolescence or in young adulthood. Because of a lack of space in the jaw, they don't always manage to come in at a proper position.

Common symptoms: When they become impacted or come in crooked, they can cause pain at the back of the mouth, swelling of the gum, pressure on the neighboring teeth, or difficulty opening the mouth.

When should you see a doctor? A checkup is a good idea if there is repeated discomfort, swelling, or bleeding around the area.

Which specialist treats it? The dentist evaluates their position and the maxillofacial surgeon steps in when more complex management is required. A timely evaluation makes it possible to decide, with professional judgment, on the most appropriate follow-up.
