Pain in your face and jaw is an important issue to discuss with your dentist when you attend routine checkups. What you can discover is that the discomfort is not related to tooth decay, but that it is caused by molars that have not yet erupted. As they appear in your mouth, your wisdom teeth can press against adjacent neighbors and damage your enamel or cause crowding. They may even become impacted and potentially cause a variety of oral health issues. At your Cerritos, CA dental practice, we can perform a timely extraction to effectively relieve pain and prevent any further complications from the emergence of your wisdom teeth. We provide guidance through the surgery and during recovery to return your mouth to a comfortable state.
