What are Wisdom Teeth?
Read the AAOMS Ebook on Wisdom Teeth
The medical and dental research has provided us with clear insight and scientific evidence of the benefits of early third molar, or wisdom tooth, removal. According to landmark, peer-reviewed studies, there is a 25% risk of silent periodontal disease in adolescents and young adults with retained third molars.
Why should you have Wisdom Teeth Removed?
In persons older than 25, 33% will have a periodontal disease associated with their third molar, and 40% will have cavities on their third molars. Periodontal or gum disease around the third molars decreases the lifespan of important first and second molars and creates pockets that are impossible to clean and where bacteria thrive. This is not only bad for your oral health, but over time, can lead to increased levels of systemic or whole-body inflammation which has been proven to lead to an increased incidence of serious medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and certain types of cancer.

What does the Wisdom Teeth Removal procedure Look Like?
Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure, and, like all surgical procedures, comes with inherent risks. Don’t trust your wisdom teeth surgery to just anyone! You and your loved ones deserve surgeons with the most advanced training and expertise in third molar surgery, the management of potential complications, as well as the safe administration of anesthesia.

Patient Review By Hope K
I had my wisdom teeth out with Dr. Huizinga. I was extremely anxious about anesthesia, and his assistant Madison was absolutely wonderful in helping me feel more comfortable and making my emotions feel valid. She was so sweet to me, and made me less anxious. Dr. Huizinga was amazing as well. If I ever need future work with this office, I would definitely request Dr. Huizinga and Madison as my team.

Patient Review By Karla B
My experience in this office was great. I was very impressed with my consultation. Dr. Huizenga was very thorough in explaining what to expect the day of and the days after surgery. Ruth and Megan were very pleasant on the phone and in person and answered all scheduling and insurance questions. Shanda, Dr. H's assistant, was so sweet and compassionate and helped calm my nerves. Dr. H. made me feel very confident in his team's abilities. It was an all around pleasant experience.

Patient Review By Julie V
I was told this appointment would be a consultation due the length of time since previous extractions. I was very upset since I was hoping to have it pulled. At the appointment Dr. Rivera was kind and told me he had the time. I was elated and everything went great. I was out of there in no time. Once again no complications or pain. Thank you Dr. Rivera!

My kids had their wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Kirby. I was very happy with how he explained everything to them and was very personable! I returned to this office due to a previous positive experience with Dr. Nalley and will always drive from Holland to Grand Haven as I prefer these doctors and their excellent staff! They are all amazing!

I don’t know her name, (wish I did!) but Dr. Rivera’s assistant is so sweet, kind, and funny. She was so welcoming and accommodating. Give her a raise. She was also super cute.
