If you are experiencing any discomfort or pain from your growing wisdom teeth, let Neighbourhood Dental help. Not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted, but if they are causing you pain, extraction may be the best option. Call Neighbourhood Dental today to set up a consultation to see if wisdom teeth extractions are recommended.
Located in the very back of the mouth, wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars to erupt. They usually come in around the age of 17, but they can erupt anytime between the ages of 14-30. While some people never get a full set of wisdom teeth, and others experience normal growth causing no problems at all, others still experience problems requiring dental intervention.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed; sometimes they grow in normally and require no intervention at all. Wisdom teeth will be considered for removal if they are causing damage to adjacent teeth, there are signs that they will compromise your oral health, or if they are causing pain and/or discomfort. Oftentimes, your dentist will recognize that your wisdom teeth will become problematic before they actually do, and so removal will be recommended before the roots are fully developed. Neighborhood Dental will provide a thorough assessment of your bite and take x-rays in order to see what is going on under your bone tissue and gums and decide if removal of your wisdom teeth is recommended.
If you are experiencing any pain when chewing, or discomfort of swelling of any kind, call Neighbourhood Dental at 825-221-1888 and we can discuss whether wisdom tooth removal might be right for you.
