Overview

  • There have always been conflicting opinions about
    wisdom teeth. While dentists suggest having to
    take them out, there are some people who believe
    that it really isnt necessary. After all, they
    dont cause you harm!
  • Unfortunately, dental pain is something we all
    dread. A very common reason to visit the dentist
    is to treat the Wisdom Teeth and the pain and
    fear of dealing with the wisdom teeth. Lets
    remember that even with the best of dental
    hygiene, wisdom tooth problems such as swelling
    and infection are unavoidable.

When should I get them out?
  • An X-ray will show when the extra molars are
    causing damage to surrounding teeth, eventually
    leading to pain. Sometimes, the X-Ray can show
    other conditions as a result of wisdom teeth.
    Some of them are listed here 
  • Cysts around the new teeth. This could lead to a
    damaged jaw and damaged nerves
  • Untreated problems with wisdom teeth can lead to
    sinus pain
  • Sometimes, tissue around the area can swell
    leading to inflamed gums
  • Cavities caused due to bacteria growing in the
    teeth spaces
  • Impacted wisdom teeth usually happen with
    crowding of other teeth.

When should I get them out?
  • Regular dental check-ups are essential for
    complete dental hygiene. Sometimes, the wisdom
    teeth do not show any signs of damage or
    infection, thus regular check-ups ensure these
    problems are tackled at the earliest. 
  • While some people do not experience any symptoms,
    some do experience mild to severe pain. So if
    youre experiencing any pain in your jaw, talk to
    your dentist. They will be able to assess your
    wisdom teeth. In most cases, an X-ray will help
    them understand the problem, rule out major
    concerns or maybe refer you to a specialist if
    needed. 
  • For impacted wisdom teeth, the dentist will look
    at the shape of your mouth and the position of
    your teeth to make a decision. The age of the
    patient plays a role too.

They are just wisdom teeth, so why should you
have them removed?
  • Sometimes, people simply dread any surgical
    procedure. So, if you are still not ready to part
    with your molars, the best thing you can do is
    schedule an appointment with an expert in the
    field.
  • Also, if the requirement for wisdom teeth removal
    isnt immediate, you can wait several months to
    see if things change before making your decision.
    But if you have pain or notice swelling or a bad
    odour near your back teeth, it may be time for a
    second look.
  • A visit to the dentist at least twice a year is
    crucial to your overall oral health, for
    cleanings and check-ups and general treatment. If
    youre experiencing any dental issues, make an
    appointment with your dentist.
