Throughout your life, your mouth undergoes numerous modifications. The emergence of your Wisdom teeth or third molars is an important dental milestone that normally occurs between the ages of 17 and 21. Because they emerge at a later age, these teeth have been dubbed wisdom teeth in the past.

Healthy wisdom teeth might aid in chewing when they emerge properly. It’s typical to experience some discomfort as your wisdom teeth emerge, but if you’re experiencing pain, visit the nearest MS Dental clinic right away.

If there isn’t enough room for wisdom teeth to emerge or they emerge in the improper location, they can cause issues. When your dentist says your wisdom teeth are impacted, he or she is referring to the fact that they are locked in your jaw or beneath your gums.

As your wisdom teeth make their way through your gums, our dentist will be monitoring your mouth for signs of the following:

Wisdom teeth that aren’t in the right position can allow food to become trapped. That gives cavity-causing bacteria a place to grow.

Wisdom teeth that haven’t come in properly, which can make it difficult to floss between the wisdom teeth and the molars next to them.

Wisdom teeth that have partially emerged can provide a pathway for bacteria to infiltrate the gums and cause inflammation. Your jaw may also experience discomfort, swelling, and stiffness as a result of this.

Some people believe that wisdom teeth that don’t have enough room to come through can crowd or destroy nearby teeth.

A cyst can occur on or around a wisdom tooth that has been impacted. This could cause harm to surrounding teeth’s roots, as well as the bone that supports your teeth.

Every patient is different, however wisdom teeth may need to be extracted if there are signs of changes in the mouth, such as:

• Pain/Infection
• Cysts
• Tumors
• Neighboring teeth are affected.
• Gum disease is a condition that affects the gums
• Tooth rotting is a common problem (if it is not possible or desirable to restore the tooth)

Wisdom teeth extraction may be recommended by our dentist as part of braces or other dental therapy.

Our dentist will inspect your mouth and take an x-ray before making any judgments. You and our dentist can consider the finest treatment options together.

Wisdom teeth that aren’t extracted should still be checked because they have the potential to cause problems in the future. People’s health risks increase as they get older, and this includes the possibility of wisdom tooth problems. Floss around your wisdom teeth and see your dentist on a regular basis. Your dentist can evaluate your wisdom teeth and your overall oral health at regular dental visits.
