Understanding Impacted Wisdom Teeth

 

Impacted wisdom teeth occur when the teeth do not have enough space to grow properly. This can lead to the teeth becoming trapped or growing at odd angles.

 

Sometimes, they might grow sideways, only partially emerge, or not break through the gums at all. When this happens, pressure builds up and leads to pain and discomfort. Over time, the impacted teeth can cause more severe problems like infection, gum disease, or damage to neighboring teeth.

 

It is important to know that not all wisdom teeth are problematic. Some people’s wisdom teeth come in fine and cause no issues at all. However, when they are impacted, it is a different story. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to serious oral health problems. This is why many people opt for removal.

 

Signs You May Need Impacted Wisdom Teeth Removal

 

You may experience several signs that indicate your wisdom teeth need to be removed. The most common sign is pain, which can range from a dull ache to sharp, throbbing pain at the back of your mouth. You may also feel swelling in your gums or jaw, or notice redness in the gum tissue around your wisdom teeth. Another sign is bad breath or a constant bad taste in your mouth, even after brushing.

 

In addition to pain and swelling, your wisdom teeth might cause your other teeth to shift. This pressure can lead to overcrowding. As a result, it becomes difficult to clean your teeth properly. This could result in tooth decay or gum disease. If you notice any of these symptoms, visit your dentist as soon as possible to discuss the next steps.
