This week we are recognizing our Puyallup assistant, Fellicia! 🤩

Thank you Fellicia for being a HUGE asset to Puyallup and to our entire AED team ❤️

Fridays are oral surgery days in our office! 🦷

Dr. Sobhani is able to tackle all those tricky 3rd molar extractions! 💪😉

Did you know?

Our mouth has the structure to hold 28 teeth. However, wisdom teeth or the third molars were vital for humanity's ancestors. Due to the nature of their diet, they needed additional teeth to chew and process foods in the mouth. They also did not have good oral hygiene and dental care, which often caused tooth loss while they were still young. When they reached teenage years or adolescence, the wisdom teeth would erupt. The extra set of teeth would be vital for normal oral functions.

Nowadays, wisdom teeth are not as important. Our diets are different, and the additional set of teeth are no longer needed to process foods. Experts recommend you go for a wisdom teeth extraction once you notice any issue with their eruption, such as impaction.
