Wisdom teeth come with a lot of complications which may lead to the need of having them removed. Such complications include recurring infections at the back of the mouth area, tumors, and excessive tooth decay in the region.
Our team of experts advises that wisdom teeth should be extracted at an early stage before they are fully developed. Removing wisdom teeth at an early stage allows for faster healing since the teeth are only partially formed. Moreover, surgery is much easier and faster at this stage.
Causes of complications
The complications may be caused by a lack of enough space in the mouth for the wisdom teeth to come in properly, causing crowding, which may damage the other teeth.
The wisdom teeth may also partially emerge, creating a section in the mouth where bacteria may accumulate leading to infections in the mouth.
In addition, wisdom teeth may become trapped in the jaw, causing swelling which may damage the bone support. Learn more about impacted wisdom teeth here.
Wisdom teeth may however be perfectly healthy and grow in fully having perfect positioning enabling them to be cleaned and well maintained. It is therefore important to seek professional advice when you're considering having your wisdom teeth extracted. Book an appointment with Singing River Dentistry today to receive professional advice on the right time to have your wisdom teeth removed.
