Wisdom Teeth In Portland

When your child's permanent teeth appear, there's usually some pushing going on, hopefully in the right direction. Although any tooth can jostle its neighbors, the teeth that have the worst reputation are our third molars -- our wisdom teeth. When properly positioned they can be a valuable asset to us. When the jaw is not large enough to accommodate these teeth, they can cause problems requiring wisdom tooth removal.

Dr. Jeffrey O Ross usually recommends routine X-rays, done when your child is around age 12, to give us early warning of problem molars and tell us whether they need to be extracted. Like troublesome neighbors, everyone's a lot happier when they've moved out!

Please call Jeffrey O Ross DMD PC at (877) 654-9526 for an appointment with Dr. Ross and a complete evaluation of your wisdom teeth and wisdom tooth removal in Portland.
