Wisdom teeth can create multiple oral and general health problems, so dentists extract them as a preventive measure as well as to correct issues that have already developed.
The big problem with wisdom teeth is that they often fail to emerge properly through the gum line because of lack of room. This can damage tooth nerves, jaw bone, and adjacent teeth.
Wisdom teeth are also more susceptible to decay because their position right at the back of the mouth makes them difficult to brush and floss around properly.
Complications caused by wisdom teeth can lead to other health issues such as headaches related to bite problems. And a wisdom tooth infection can spread through your body, damaging vital organs.
If your wisdom teeth are going to cause problems, you’ll probably notice something is wrong when you’re in your late teens or early 20s.
Symptoms that indicate your wisdom teeth may need taking out include:
Even if your wisdom teeth are causing no immediate symptoms, they may well do so later, when extraction can be more difficult.
Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure typically performed with local anaesthetic in a dental clinic.
General anaesthesia is not usually necessary but may be recommended if the procedure is particularly complicated or you’re prone to high levels of stress.
Recovery after extraction can take a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure, the type of anaesthetic used, and how much damage the problem has caused to the rest of the mouth.
Launceston Dental can help you decide whether your wisdom teeth need to come out. If extraction is advisable, we’ll explain the entire process to put you at ease. We’ll also advise you on measures you can take to ensure a speedy recovery. Contact us now to book an appointment.
