Relieve Pain & Restore Comfort with Gentle Wisdom Teeth Removal in Kisumu
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, usually erupt between ages 17 and 25 the final set of teeth to appear. However, many people don’t have enough jaw space for them to grow properly. When that happens, they become impacted trapped under the gums or against nearby teeth leading to pain, infections, or even shifting of your other teeth.
Wisdom teeth removal (also called third molar disimpaction) is a safe and common oral surgery procedure to remove these problematic teeth before they cause complications.
At Kisumu Smiles, our oral surgery team uses minimally invasive techniques, local anesthesia, and precise digital imaging to ensure every extraction is smooth, comfortable, and fast-healing.
Wisdom teeth can become impacted when they can’t erupt properly or grow in the wrong direction.
Common causes include:
Not enough space in the jaw
Teeth growing at an angle
Overcrowded mouth
Jaw shape or size
Genetics
Gum inflammation or infection
Past orthodontic treatment affecting spacing
If you experience pain, swelling, or discomfort near the back of your mouth, it’s time to have your wisdom teeth checked.
You may need wisdom teeth extraction in Kisumu if you have:
Persistent jaw pain or swelling at the back of your mouth
Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
Gum infections around back teeth
Crowded or shifting teeth
Tooth decay or cysts around impacted molars
At Kisumu Smiles Dental Center, we’ll take an X-ray to determine the exact position of your wisdom teeth and recommend whether removal is needed before they cause future problems.
