At Pure Dental Health, we offer gentle, expert wisdom teeth removal services for those in Midtown that are experiencing problems with these final molars.

Common Wisdom Teeth Problems

The main problem with wisdom teeth is that they arrive late to the party. All your other teeth are in place and have adjusted to the space in your mouth. Then years later, the wisdom teeth show up, barging their way into your mouth. If there is not enough room or they begin their journey taking a crooked path, these large molars can cause a host of problems, including:

• Growth path. If the wisdom teeth are growing in sideways or pushing against your existing teeth, this can cause alignment issues. Often wisdom teeth can change the position of your teeth and even undo orthodontic treatments. Teeth that are partially in become card to clean and can be a breeding grounds for infection and decay.
• Lack of space. Not everyone’s mouth is equipped to accept wisdom teeth. If there is not enough room left for these last molars, your teeth can become crowded. This can make good oral hygiene difficult, as well as change the position of your teeth and even cause unnecessary pain. When there is not enough room for these teeth, they can become impacted in the gums.
• Bone loss and jaw damage. In severe cases, wisdom teeth can cause cysts around the new teeth that can lead to bone loss and nerve damage. This can lead to infection and other problems.
• Inflammation. If the new molars inflame the gums, a host of issues can follow. Inflammation can make it difficult to effectively clean your teeth, resulting in cavities and possibly gum disease.
• Sinus problems. In some cases, the new molars can cause sinus pain and pressure as they struggle to emerge.

Many of these issues can be painful. If there is any possibility of problems resulting from allowing your wisdom teeth to continue emerging, Dr. Scott will discuss the option of proactively removing them for your oral health.
