Third molars are also referred to as wisdom teeth and they remain a common source of pain for young adults, because they emerge so comparatively late in a human being’s life. But they’re the classic definition of the late comer. By the time they emerge, your jaw is already populated with no less than 28 adult teeth. Generally, there are two wisdom teeth on each jaw. They can either emerge at an angle or grow partially. It is crucial that in case you have wisdom teeth problems, you elect to be treated by a highly talented and well-trained dentist.

Most tooth extractions carry only a 2% chance of a dry socket problem. However, if the surgery you have is a wisdom tooth extraction, the dry socket rate increases to 30%. The regular symptoms of infection including redness or swelling may not occur with an instance of dry socket, so you shouldn’t use those symptoms to determine if you have it.

It’s hard enough to see the dentist for a checkup, much less when you have a serious dental issue causing you pain and discomfort. Pain is common before and after the extraction of the wisdom tooth, and this is because they’re so deep in the mouth as well as their extraction can be complicated. Some people’s wisdom teeth can grow up to a certain level then stop and they won’t cause any pain or discomfort. You’d be surprised at the complications that can result from impacted wisdom teeth, including decay, periodontal severe illness, abscesses, and even worse.

Dental caries is a very common gum infection that can erupt after a wisdom tooth has been extracted. Neglected, caries can damage the remaining healthy teeth. You can only imagine what kind of damage these decayed teeth can do to your smile’s appearance. The best physicians can keep your mouth healthy and clean to avoid infections. But when you do not find a good dentist, then you’ll be left with foul breath, damaged teeth, and much worse.

A wisdom tooth eruption can cause you a lot of pain when the tooth pushes through the gum tissue. Third molars that come in crookedly often cause other teeth to start hurting as well. You might not be experiencing pain or discomfort now but wisdom teeth poses future problems that may occur. Even though you can alleviate some of the pain and discomfort at home with OTC medicine or natural remedies, bear in mind that this relief is merely a temporary fix.

A surgical operation that’s not done by a professional can lead to devastating nerve damage, which can be one of the most important factors when considering a surgeon. Nerve damage causes numbness, pain, and tingling in your lip, chin, tongue, teeth, and gums. In rare cases, the nerve damage can become permanent. However, nerve damage brought on by a third molar removal can normally be treated with endodontic or root canal therapy.
