Late adolescents and adults in their early twenties often experience pain and discomfort from their wisdom teeth. With 28 teeth already grown, wisdom teeth might not have enough room to come in effectively. Wisdom teeth might also come in only partially, or at an angle. These generally are the primary reasons why, when you have wisdom teeth problems, you should engage a well-trained dentist.

Understand the risk of dry sockets is 2% when getting teeth removed. The percentage increases up to 30% if it’s wisdom teeth removal. Symptoms of dry socket include pain and jaw stiffness but not fever, redness, or swelling, because dry socket isn’t an infection.

On the main subject of gum infections, dental caries is a common side effect of wisdom tooth extraction that can damage and leave holes in your healthy molars. You can easily imagine how much damage cavities and gum disease can do to an once-attractive smile. Stay away from the embarrassment that comes with having a dingy smile by seeing your dentist for an examination and a cleaning. Bad breath and a fake smile will probably be among your major worries if you don’t get the right medical professional.

A wisdom tooth eruption can cause the patient a lot of pain as the tooth breaks through the gum tissue. Once your wisdom teeth erupt at an angle, you’ll likely experience pain in nearby teeth. Whether or not you experience pain from your wisdom teeth, they can still cause problems somewhere along the line. Unfortunately, available over-the-counter treatments and home remedies provide only temporary pain relief.

Although antiseptics and mouthwash are certainly the primary cures for infections, you should always visit your wisdom tooth specialist to steer clear of the trouble caused by inadequate treatment or visits to your normal dentist. The dentist will likely remove the wisdom tooth ultimately removing the infection. Third molars can cause all kinds of issues from infection such as gum disease, cavities, or abscesses.

Just like some other tooth removal surgery, you are at risk for complications when having a wisdom tooth removed. Skills the dentist has and also the ability to follow instructions given are a few of the factors that can contribute to this. Infections are certainly the leading complication after a wisdom tooth removal, and are especially prevalent among smokers. Edges of the wisdom teeth can trap food remains and also other bacteria which later results in diseases.

Some symptoms of a dry socket include recurring throbbing pain, a bad smell and a stiff jaw. The oral surgeon treats dry socket by irrigating the area to eliminate any trapped debris and then covering the open socket with a medicated dressing that contains a painkilling agent. Clove oil, a natural pain reliever, is often in the dressing that goes over your socket.
