Wisdom Teeth Removal in Shelby Township, MI: What You Need to Know
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth cause pain, crowding, infections, or complications that require removal. At Pearly Smile Dental Studio in Shelby Township, we provide gentle, safe wisdom tooth evaluations and extractions for teens and adults.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop. Because they erupt later in life when the jaw is already fully formed, many patients don’t have enough space for them to grow in correctly.
Common Problems Caused by Wisdom Teeth
1. Impaction
The tooth is trapped under the gum or bone.
2. Infection (Pericoronitis)
Bacteria collect beneath the gum flap, causing swelling and pain.
3. Crowding
Wisdom teeth push against other teeth, causing shifting.
4. Cavities & Gum Disease
Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth trap food and bacteria.
5. Cysts or Bone Damage
Impacted teeth may form cysts that damage the jawbone.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removed
- Pain or swelling in the back of the mouth
- Difficulty opening your jaw
- Gum soreness
- Bad breath
- Crowding of other teeth
- Repeated infections
Even if there are no symptoms, early removal may be recommended to prevent future complications.
Types of Wisdom Tooth Extraction
1. Simple Extraction
Used when the tooth has fully erupted.
2. Surgical Extraction
Used for impacted or partially erupted teeth.
Local anesthesia or sedation options ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
What to Expect During Removal
- Comprehensive exam and X-rays
- Numbing the area
- Loosening and removing the tooth
- Cleaning the extraction site
- Stitches (if needed)
- Post-care instructions
Recovery Tips
- Use ice packs during the first 24 hours
- Avoid drinking through straws
- Eat soft foods
- Maintain gentle oral hygiene
Most patients recover within 3–5 days.

I had an exceptional experience at Pearly Smile Dental Studio in Shelby Township during my very first visit, and I can’t say enough good things about the team, especially the office manager, Dorene. From the moment I walked in, Dorene went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She worked tirelessly to help me with my insurance, patiently answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.Dorene’s kindness was further demonstrated when she realized I had driven over an hour from Downriver. Knowing that I needed to see a specialist as well, she immediately contacted a nearby recommended office and arranged for me to have the option to see them the same day. This extra effort meant I could get the most out of my drive, and I was so grateful for that.I chose this office after carefully reading reviews, as I’ve had less-than-perfect experiences at other dental offices over the years. With my dental issues and family history, I had very little faith in finding a trustworthy practice. But Pearly Smile Dental Studio—and especially Dorene—made me feel 100% different. I truly recommend them to anyone looking for a place where they will feel valued and well cared for.
