Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are vestigial, meaning they serve no real purpose and can sometimes lead to issues with chewing or dental alignment. In many cases, removal isn’t necessary. However, if you have had four permanent adult molars since the ages of 17-21, extraction may be needed due to overcrowding and inefficient use of space. If you’re experiencing discomfort or misalignment, consult our dentist today to see if wisdom tooth removal is right for you!
Symptoms & Signs You Need Wisdom Tooth Removal Treatment
Wisdom teeth can often cause pain and discomfort, making it essential to recognize the signs that indicate the need for treatment. In some cases, wisdom teeth emerge properly without causing any issues. However, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, these third molars grow at an angle, become impacted under the gum tissue, or develop incorrectly due to lack of space. When this happens, they can lead to various dental problems. If your wisdom teeth are causing complications, our dentist may recommend immediate extraction. Here are the signs and symptoms that suggest you need wisdom tooth removal:
Tooth pain is often near the back of your mouth
Cavities are affecting your teeth and gradually erupting wisdom tooth
Food and debris are stuck in your wisdom teeth
You are getting cysts around your wisdom tooth
You start having gum diseases that you normally hadn’t
You start having bad breath or bad taste
Why Is It Necessary For You To Have Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Our ancestors' diets consisted mainly of hard nuts and crunchy leaves, but today we eat more cooked food. As a result, wisdom teeth are seen as vestigial structures that have become unnecessary due to changes in our lifestyle over time - they don't serve any purpose anymore! You're probably thinking: "I've never had my wisdom tooth removed."
"But if it's been causing pain or discomfort, this may be worth considering for yourself!"
