Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, frequently cause pain for patients in their late teens or early twenties. With 28 teeth already grown, wisdom teeth might not have enough room to come in properly. Their growth can either take place partially or emerge at an angle on each jaw. There’re many reasons why you should make an effort to find a qualified dentist when you have a problem with your wisdom teeth.

If you go to a dentist who knows how to treat wisdom teeth, you shouldn’t have problems when you have them removed. A dentist who is seasoned in wisdom tooth problems has the tools to eliminate or realign wisdom teeth that are giving problems. They can also oversee the procedure of removing the teeth, with your comfort in mind. When you have troublesome wisdom teeth, they can affect every aspect of your life, including such basic habits as eating. To avoid unnecessarily risking your well-being, attend to your wisdom teeth as a matter of priority.

Tongue, cheek or the throat can be infected by the infections from third molars when they are not effectively removed. If you are struggling to eat solid food now because your wisdom teeth ache, you’ll have twice the trouble if the infection spreads to your throat. These types of infections can become very serious, even to the point of making you not able to eat for days or even weeks.

You have a 2% chance of dry sockets when removing teeth. With wisdom tooth removal, however, the likelihood of dry socket skyrockets from 2% to 30%. Do not expect to have symptoms including fever, swelling or redness as dry socket is not considered as an infection.

Negative surgery experiences can leave you with nerve damage if you don’t make use of the right practitioner. Numbness, pain, and tingling in the lower lip, chin, gums, and teeth are a few of the effects of nerve damage. In certain cases, patients can have permanent nerve damage. On a positive note, though, any nerve damage brought on by a wisdom tooth removal can be easily treated with root canal or endodontic treatment.

On the main subject of oral infections, dental caries is a common side effect of wisdom tooth issues that can damage the surrounding healthy molars. You could only imagine what kind of damage these decayed teeth can do to your smile’s appearance. When you’re with the right health care provider, such issues can be solved to help maintain your clean smile. If you neglect to see a qualified dentist, however, bad breath and a poor smile might be the least of your issues.
