Comfortable wisdom tooth extractions for teens and adults
At Spokane Family Smiles, we prioritize making the wisdom tooth removal process as simple and comfortable as possible. We offer a number of sedation options and can perform the procedure right here at our Spokane Valley office.
What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the molars at the very back of your mouth. While completely natural, wisdom teeth can cause a variety of problems, including pain, misalignment, or increased risk of tooth decay. While you can remove your wisdom teeth at any point in your life, it’s easiest to remove them as a teenager.
When is wisdom tooth extraction necessary?
- Your wisdom teeth are causing you pain or discomfort
- Crowded teeth are causing a misaligned bite
- When it becomes difficult to brush or floss due to your wisdom teeth
An individualized approach to wisdom teeth removal
“For adults and children alike, we prefer to keep wisdom teeth intact if it seems like you won’t experience any problems in the future. But for most teens and adults, overcrowding can make extraction necessary. We’ll help you understand what’s best for you and your family.”

Common wisdom tooth removal questions
Do teenagers need to have their wisdom teeth removed?
While not all teenagers must have their wisdom teeth removed, if they are experiencing pain or if we determine they will eventually have to be removed, we might recommend it.
Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
We take your comfort seriously throughout wisdom tooth extraction treatment. We’ll always ensure you’re completely numb prior to treatment. After treatment, usually the first 2-3 days are uncomfortable and then the pain will begin to decrease.
