Why Wisdom Teeth need to be Extracted
In most cases, wisdom teeth do not have enough room to emerge properly. This can result in several complications that, if left untreated, can lead to more serious dental problems. Some of the most common reasons for wisdom teeth extraction include:
Impaction
Impacted wisdom teeth are those that remain trapped beneath the gum or bone, unable to fully emerge. This can lead to pain, swelling, and even infections as the teeth press against surrounding structures
Overcrowding
When wisdom teeth do not have sufficient space to come in, they can push against neighboring teeth, causing misalignment. This can undo orthodontic work or lead to overcrowding that affects the entire dental arch.
Infection
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create pockets in the gums where bacteria can accumulate. This increases the risk of infection, gum disease, and tooth decay in the surrounding teeth.
Cysts and Tumors
Impacted wisdom teeth can sometimes lead to the formation of cysts or tumors in the jawbone, which can damage surrounding teeth and bone structure if not addressed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Extractions
1. Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
No, with the use of local anesthesia or sedation, you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort after the extraction is common but can be managed with medication.
2. How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover from wisdom teeth extractions within a week. Swelling typically subsides within the first few days, and you can usually return to normal activities after a few days of rest.
3. Will I need all four wisdom teeth removed?
Not everyone needs to have all four wisdom teeth extracted. The decision depends on factors such as impaction, overcrowding, and the overall health of your teeth. Our dentist will provide personalized recommendations based on your X-rays and dental exam.
