Anchorage, Alaska – Most people have impacted wisdom teeth and need to have them removed. Some people who do not realize they have problems with their wisdom teeth until later in life tend to think they are too old to have them pulled. However, Dr. Terry Preece of Healthy Smiles Dental recently posted a blog explaining that while there may be some additional concerns the older one gets, extracting problematic wisdom teeth is still important.
The blog on www.anchoragehealthysmiles.com explains that, as with any surgery, the likelihood of complications and length of recovery time both increase with age. Still, the dentist in Anchorage explains that having one’s wisdom teeth pulled is a relatively minor procedure that rarely presents complications, even for the elderly.
Dr. Preece regularly discusses dental issues on his blog. He hopes that his patients will have quicker and easier trips to his office if they follow the advice in his blogs.
Aside from merely discussing wisdom teeth, Dr. Preece’s latest post suggests treatment plans and products the reader can discuss with his or her dentist if they are concerned about their oral health. Taking care of one’s teeth is an important part of one’s overall health says Dr. Preece, and he hopes to make this practice a little bit easier for his readers by giving them some pointers that will help guide them along in the process.
Dr. Terry Preece is a dentist in Anchorage, AK who can help plan the best treatment for dental concerns from cavities to teeth whitening. He has a long history of caring for patients in Alaska and taking their personal needs into consideration.
