Wisdom Teeth Removal in Pembroke Pines, FL

Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal for Pembroke Pines Teens and Adults

Wisdom teeth typically emerge between ages 17 and 25, and most people don’t have enough room for them. Impacted wisdom teeth cause pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth. At Dental Care Group in Pembroke Pines, we use digital imaging to evaluate wisdom teeth and recommend removal when needed. Our Pines Blvd office is popular with Pembroke Pines families—especially parents scheduling their teens’ wisdom teeth removal during school breaks.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

We recommend evaluation by age 16-17 when roots aren’t fully formed, making removal easier. However, wisdom teeth can be safely removed at any age. Removal is recommended for pain, recurring infections, crowding, cysts, or damage to adjacent teeth.

Recovery Timeline

Day 1: Rest, ice, soft foods, medication. Days 2-3: Peak swelling. Days 4-7: Gradual return to normal diet. Week 2: Most patients fully normal. Saturday appointments available for follow-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my teen’s wisdom teeth be evaluated?

By age 16-17 at our Pembroke Pines office. Early evaluation means easier removal and faster recovery. We use digital X-rays to assess position.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

Costs depend on number of teeth and complexity. Most insurance covers wisdom tooth extraction. We provide transparent pricing. Call (954) 430-2300.

Can all four be removed at once?

Yes—removing all four in one session is common and avoids multiple recoveries. Our team evaluates whether same-session removal is appropriate for your case.

How painful is recovery?

Manageable with prescribed or OTC medication for 3-5 days. Most patients feel significantly better within 3-4 days.

Can my teen go back to school the next day?

We typically recommend 2-3 days of rest. Most Pembroke Pines teens return to school within 3-4 days. Friday or Saturday removal allows weekend recovery.

What if I don’t remove impacted wisdom teeth?

Untreated impacted teeth can cause infection, cysts, and damage to neighboring molars. Not all wisdom teeth need removal, but impacted ones causing symptoms should be addressed promptly.
