teeth.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The teeth in the front are known
as the incisors, canine, and bicuspid teeth.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These teeth grasp and bite the food into smaller pieces.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The teeth in the back are known as the molar
teeth and they are used to grind food up for swallowing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The average mouth holds 28 teeth comfortably.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can be painful to try to fit 32 teeth in a
mouth that should hold 28 teeth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
four extra teeth are known as your third molars, or "wisdom teeth."</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When wisdom teeth have enough room to come in to align
properly, they do not have to be removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Extracting the wisdom teeth is necessary when they cannot properly
erupt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many times wisdom teeth grow in
sideways, they partially erupt, or they may even remain trapped beneath the gum
and bone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they partially erupt, the
opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and could cause an
infection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pressure from the wisdom
tooth trying to find its way out could also move other teeth and cause problems
with the natural alignment of teeth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Removal of the wisdom teeth usually resolves these problems.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The providers here offer IV Sedation, oral sedation, or
nitrous oxide for your comfort with wisdom teeth extractions.</span></div>
