If you ever need your wisdom teeth removed, you’ll want to be as well-informed as possible about the procedure and about the dentist performing it. You’ll know you’ve found the right dentist if they make you feel comfortable and are experienced in wisdom teeth removals, which will provide you with the very best outcome to your procedure. Here’s why you’ll definitely want to find a well-qualified dentist experienced in removing wisdom teeth.

Once you get a good reason to have your wisdom teeth removed for your own benefit, your dentist will go ahead and remove it at the dental clinic. A well-qualified dentist will assess every aspect of your wisdom teeth before recommending a treatment. Physical evaluations and tests can be done to assess the problem and afterwards, safe treatments are provided.

The chances of getting dry socket after a tooth extraction are extremely low. The chances of infections popping up rises up 30% if it’s wisdom teeth being removed. Dry sockets are not infections because they don’t have symptoms of infections like fevers or swelling.

An erupting wisdom tooth can be extremely painful as it pushes through the gum’s surface. Wisdom teeth sometimes erupt at odd angles that can cause pain to spread to other teeth. Just because your wisdom teeth are not causing you any problems now doesn’t mean that they won’t at some point. You could alleviate soreness and discomfort while at home using pain relief measures, some natural remedies and also over the counter treatment but they are only temporary.

If you get surgery with the bad medical practitioner, you may end up with nerve damage. You’ll know you’ve suffered nerve damage when you have pain or feel a numbness or tingling in almost any part of your mouth or even your chin. These are very rare cases though when a nerve is damaged, it can result to a permanent problem if you do not seek treatment early. The good thing is that endodontic treatment or root canal therapy can be used to treat nerves that have been damaged after wisdom teeth removal.

If you experience a throbbing pain which recurs steadily, a foul smell and perhaps a stiff jaw, after a tooth extraction, you might have a dry socket. The oral surgeon treats dry socket by irrigating the area to remove any trapped debris and afterwards covering the open socket with a medicated dressing that contains a painkilling agent. The dressing will often have clove oil, a pain reliever, in it.

Another potential complication from wisdom tooth removal is decay, which can eat away at the healthy molars adjacent to the extraction site. Gum severe sickness can wreak havoc on your smile and confidence. But you could maintain your perfect smile and your self-confidence if an excellent dentist treats you. But when you do not find an excellent dentist, then you’ll be left with foul breath, damaged teeth, and far worse.
