Austin Oral Surgery

Your dentist isn’t just checking for cavities and maintaining your overall oral health—they’re also keeping an eye on your wisdom teeth.

So, what are the signs that prompt them to recommend seeing an oral surgeon for removal?

Here are some common signs:
• Wisdom teeth are impacted (stuck under the gums or in the jaw)
• Pain, swelling, or tenderness in the back of the mouth
• Infection or inflamed gums around partially erupted teeth
• Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
• Cysts or damage visible on X-rays

Even if you’re not feeling pain, underlying issues can still be developing. That’s why early evaluation is key.

If your dentist refers you to an oral surgeon, it’s all about preventing bigger problems down the road and ultimately keeping your smile healthy.
