Wisdom Teeth

What are wisdom teeth?

Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

My son had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 2 weeks ago and it has been hard to believe he even had the procedure done. He never was swollen and he said he didn't have any pain! I have other children that have had their wisdom teeth removed elsewhere and they were all very swollen and in pain. The staff called to check up on him and were very friendly as well. Thank you Dr. Howard and staff for an amazing job!

Just want to leave a glowing review for Dr. Howard and his team at Central Connecticut Oral Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery ! I had to have all four wisdom teeth out and I was told by so many people how awful it was so I was nervous... well it ended up being a breeze. Apparently my teeth came out easier than expected so they actually gave me money back. I had very little pain and swelling and they called me later that day to make sure I was okay, and then Dr. Howard called me himself a few days later to see how I was doing. I couldn't recommend them enough!

I have twins who both needed to have impacted wisdom teeth extracted. Doctor Howard's staff was very flexible and patient with me, as I needed to bring each child on a different day. Doctor Howard was amazing with the kids, and their experience was very positive. The office staff continues to show us courtesy as we come for our follow-up appointments. Everyone was so nice, and incredibly professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone!
