Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars to emerge, typically appearing in the late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, these molars often cause complications, such as crowding, impaction or infection. Due to limited space in the jaw, wisdom teeth may grow in at odd angles or fail to erupt fully, leading to discomfort and potential oral health concerns.
At our dental office, we evaluate the position and condition of your wisdom teeth to determine if removal is necessary. Early intervention can help prevent pain and avoid further dental complications.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
While not everyone requires wisdom teeth removal, the following signs may indicate it is time to consider this procedure:
- Pain or Discomfort: Persistent jaw or gum pain.
- Swelling or Infection: Redness, swelling or signs of infection near the back of the mouth.
- Crowding: Teeth shifting due to pressure from erupting wisdom teeth.
- Impaction: Teeth that are trapped beneath the gumline.
- Cysts or Damage: Presence of cysts or damage to nearby teeth.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, our dentists will carefully assess your needs and recommend the best course of action.
