At the late teens or early twenties most people experience painful moments due to wisdom teeth or third molars. They usually grow after the 28 adult teeth are in place, thus, they are referred to as late comers. It’s fairly common for wisdom teeth to come in only partway, or on an angle that makes them push against your other molars. There are many reasons why you should try to find a qualified dentist when you have a problem with your wisdom teeth.

Dental checkups are already extremely stressful when they are routine, but this stress is made even worse when there’s actually something wrong. Unlike other dental issues that are simpler to treat, wisdom teeth are more difficult and can cause issues both before and after their extraction. That said, sometimes people’s wisdom teeth will come in at an angle without causing any pain or discomfort. But vital to know is that the third molars should be checked as they can hoard infections that cause ailments like cellulitis, benign growths, abscess, tooth decay and gum diseases.

If you experience a throbbing pain which recurs steadily, a foul smell and perhaps a stiff jaw, after a tooth extraction, you could have a dry socket. When you see the medical practitioner about your painful wisdom tooth socket, he or she is going to irrigate it to eliminate any food or bacterial debris and then dress it. This dressing has clove oil that helps reduce pain during the healing process.

The removal of your wisdom teeth can only be done by your dentist for your own benefits. Wisdom tooth specialists can tell you ways to approach the process and which treatment is best for you. Dentists who specialize in treating wisdom tooth problems can cover all of the bases, from assessing the condition of your wisdom teeth to diagnosing any specific problems and potential complications, to removing these “third molars” as painlessly as possible.

One feels a lot of pain when there is absolutely an eruption of wisdom teeth as it pushes through the gum. Wisdom teeth may erupt at strange angles which can cause pain to spread throughout surrounding teeth. Your wisdom teeth might be removed even if they’re not causing you pain or discomfort; they might be removed because your dentist can recognize that they will cause you future problems down the line. You could alleviate soreness and discomfort while at home using pain relief measures, some natural remedies and also over the counter treatment but they’re only temporary.
