Why Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, also known as the third set of molars, develop between the age of 17–24.
When wisdom teeth cause problems, or X-rays show they might down the line, they need to come out. Other good reasons to take them out include:

Damage to other teeth:
That extra set of molars can push your other teeth around, causing mouth pain and bite problems.
Jaw damage:
Cysts can form around the new teeth. If they aren’t treated, they can hollow out your jaw and damage nerves.
Inflamed Gums:
Tissue around the area can swell and may be hard to clean.
Cavities:
Swollen gums can create pockets between teeth that help bacteria grow and cavities form.
Alignment:
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems with crowding of other teeth and even make treatment to straighten other teeth necessary.
To solve all these issues, we will extract the affected wisdom tooth.

Even though you have fully grown wisdom tooth, your dentist may suggest the removal of it when they find that it affects your oral hygiene. Many people struggle to clean the tooth properly, leading to the discolouration, stains, and formation of tartar.

Symptoms Of Impacted Wisdom Tooth

In some cases, wisdom teeth issues are either partial eruption or total impaction – tooth is growing horizontally inside and pushing the neighbouring teeth, which is causing damage to those teeth.

If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, you will experience the following symptoms:

  • Red or swollen gums
  • Jaw pain
  • Bad breath
  • Difficulty opening your mouth
  • Swelling around the jaw
  • An unpleasant taste in the mouth

If you encounter any of these symptoms, consult with our Dental Care St Kilda dentists immediately. Ignoring the tooth growth or not contacting dentists for assistance means you may be losing your healthy second molars as well.

Things To Remember After Wisdom Tooth Extraction

  • Never try to apply pressure on the wound until it heals
  • Avoid eating hard and hot foods for a week
  • During the initial days after the treatment, consume liquid and soft foods

Also, don’t forget to seek the assistance of the dentist if you experience high pain, infection, or bleeding even after 24 hours.
