Expert Care for Castle Pines Families
Wisdom teeth emerge in late teens to early twenties. When there is insufficient room - common in most patients - extraction prevents pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth or orthodontic work.
Castle Pines students at Rock Canyon High School are often evaluated during their high school years, with extraction scheduled during breaks. The newer Lagae Ranch community includes younger families with teens approaching wisdom teeth age.
Castle Pines' older established population (median age 42) may include adults who never addressed wisdom teeth. Problems can develop at any age - do not dismiss chronic jaw pain as normal aging.
Signs of Problems
- Pain in back jaw
- Swollen gums
- Jaw stiffness
- Bad taste/breath

Wisdom Teeth FAQs
When should my Rock Canyon student be evaluated?
Most dentists recommend evaluation around age 16-18. Castle Pines students at Rock Canyon High School are often evaluated during sophomore or junior year, with extraction scheduled during summer or winter break.
Are Castle Pines adults too old for wisdom teeth removal?
No. While extraction is often easier in younger patients, adults of any age can have problematic wisdom teeth removed. Castle Pines has an older median age (42), and many residents address wisdom teeth issues in their 30s, 40s, or later.
What if extraction is recommended but there is no pain?
X-rays may reveal developing problems before symptoms appear. Proactive extraction when issues are visible often results in easier procedures and faster recovery than waiting for pain or infection.
How do I choose between sedation options?
We offer local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation. The choice depends on extraction complexity, anxiety level, and personal preference. We discuss options and recommend based on your situation.
What is recovery like for active Castle Pines residents?
Plan for 3-5 days of rest. Golf, tennis, and other physical activities should wait about a week. Swelling peaks around day 2-3, so avoid social commitments for the first few days.
