Wisdom teeth commonly cause pain for people in the late teens to early twenties. By the time these late comers decide to pop up – if they do – you will already have 28 adult teeth in place, in your mouth. The wisdom tooth either grows at an angle or emerges partially. There are mostly two wisdom teeth on each jaw. These are the benefits of having a session with a qualified wisdom teeth specialist.

Wisdom teeth surgery, like all dental procedures, can have post-operative complications. Starting from the skills of the practitioner to your ability of following instructions given by the dentist are a few of the factors that can contribute to complications. And infection can develop in a range of contexts. If you really are a smoker, you will be more keenly in danger of developing oral infections after a wisdom tooth extraction. The other reason for diseases related to wisdom teeth is when the food and also other bacteria get trapped on the edges of the teeth.

When the removal of wisdom teeth isn’t properly done, infections from the third molars can infect the cheek, tongue and also the throat. Not only will you continue experiencing problems while eating solid food, you will likely have an additional problem of swallowing due to the throat infection. The infections can grow to a level that you will start skipping meals for a few days and also weeks depending on the spread of the infection.

You have a 2% chance of getting dry socket after having a tooth removed. But there’s a 30% that a dry socket can develop if you are having a wisdom tooth removed. Dry socket is technically not an infection, so you won’t experience common infection symptoms like fever, redness, or swelling.

Many people fear visiting the dentist only for an ordinary checkup, let alone when there’s a painful problem. It can be a lot more nerve-wracking to see the dentist when you have an issue with your wisdom teeth, because these teeth are more vulnerable to cause pain before, during, and after treatment. But still, many people are lucky enough to experience wisdom teeth that emerge at an angle but do not cause pain or discomfort. Anyone who does retain his or her wisdom teeth will need to have them examined regularly to rule out infections that cause gum severe illness, tooth decay, and even cellulitis.

Once your wisdom tooth comes in — a process referred to as eruption — it can sometimes be very painful. Pain will probably be radiated to the surrounding teeth if one of your teeth is beginning to erupt. By the same token, you might not feel any pain from your wisdom teeth, which can not even come in at all, but that doesn’t mean they won’t cause problems in the future. Although some individuals swear by OTC or natural pain remedies, they are temporary fixes at best.
