Primeau DentalCARE THAT HELPS YOU SMILE401-737-9363Find out what your wisdom teeth need.
Pain at the back of your mouth, repeated gum irritation, or difficulty cleaning around a wisdom tooth deserves an evaluation. We evaluate impacted wisdom teeth and explain when removal may be recommended.
RIte Smiles & Medicaid accepted. Coverage depends on your plan, eligibility, and treatment.
RIte Smiles & Medicaid accepted
We accept RIte Smiles and Medicaid for eligible patients. Our team can check your benefits and explain expected costs for wisdom tooth evaluation and extraction before treatment. Coverage and any required authorization depend on your plan.
Why a wisdom tooth may need attention
Wisdom teeth may remain partly or fully beneath the gum, grow at an angle, or develop decay or gum problems. We examine the area and use X-rays when needed to understand the tooth’s position and its effect on nearby teeth.
A plan specific to your teeth
We explain which teeth need treatment, the type of removal involved, and the expected recovery. The tooth’s position and its relationship to nearby structures help guide the treatment plan.
Comfort and preparation
Local anesthetic is used to numb the area. Ask about sedation if you are anxious or need more support during treatment. Your medical history and the planned procedure help determine which options are appropriate. Follow the instructions we give you for eating, medicines, and an escort if needed.
Recovery and follow-up
You will receive instructions for protecting the extraction sites and managing your recovery. Soreness, swelling, and a temporary change in what you can comfortably eat are common. Contact us if symptoms concern you or are getting worse.
Questions you may have
Does every wisdom tooth need to come out?
No. We recommend treatment based on the tooth’s condition, position, symptoms, and risks, rather than removing every wisdom tooth automatically.
Can more than one tooth be removed at a visit?
Often, but the decision depends on the treatment needed, your health, and the comfort plan.
What if I have swelling or severe pain?
Call us promptly for advice and appointment availability. Difficulty breathing or swallowing needs emergency medical care.
