Wisdom Tooth Removal, When is it Needed?

Often, the lower wisdom tooth may be prevented from proper growth when it is “blocked” by the tooth in front. In such a case, the tooth is called an impacted wisdom tooth. Impacted wisdom teeth may cause an unpleasant sensation of pressure at the back of the jaw. Furthermore, the gums around the impacted wisdom tooth may trap food and bacteria which may lead to a painful, swollen infection. Further discomfort may be experienced if the upper wisdom tooth bites down on the swollen gum below. Tooth decay may develop on the wisdom tooth and the back surface of the tooth in front of it. The decay may often go undetected until toothache sets in and in severe cases, the neighbouring teeth may be extracted alongside wisdom teeth removal.

When your wisdom tooth causes problems, or when X-rays show that they might be down the line and removal is required. Other reasons include :

1. Damage to other teeth : That extra set of molars can push your other teeth around, causing mouth pain and problems biting.
2. Jaw damage : Cysts can form around the new teeth. If they aren’t treated, they can hollow out your jaw and damage nerves.
3. Sinus Issues : Problems with wisdom teeth can lead to sinus pain, pressure, and congestion.
4. Inflamed Gums : Tissue around the area can swell and may be hard to clean.
5. Cavities : Swollen gums can create pockets between teeth that help bacteria grow and cavities form.
6. Alignment : Impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems with crowding, of other teeth, and even require treatment to straighten other teeth necessary.

Your Dentist Recommends To Have Your Wisdom Tooth Removed Although You Don’t Feel Pain. So Why Remove Them?

These days, oral surgery to remove wisdom teeth is a standard practice – almost a rite of passage for young adults.

Preventive Effort

Just because your wisdom teeth is not a source of pain doesn’t mean that there is nothing wrong. The teeth could be stuck, or impacted. This means they can’t break through your jaw and into your mouth. This could be due to a small mouth that doesn’t have enough room for your wisdom teeth, or the teeth could be growing at an odd angle leaning on other teeth. This can damage the adjacent tooth if it is being pushed by your wisdom tooth.

Some dentists take out healthy molars to prevent problems later on. As you age, the bones in your mouth get harder. That makes your teeth tougher to remove.

If you wait, you could have problems after surgery that range from heavy bleeding and fractured teeth to severe numbness and minor loss of movement in your jaw. These troubles could last a few days or a lifetime.

Every individual has their own unique set of teeth. Hence, at Smile Central our dentists will look at the shape of your mouth and the position of your teeth to make a decision. Your age plays a role, too.

You can come in for a non-obligatory consultation for a professional analysis. If you feel pain, notice swelling or detect odour near your back teeth, it could be time to reach out for professional advice.
