Experiencing pain and discomfort around the back of the mouth? Your wisdom teeth might be to blame.
There are a number of reasons why wisdom teeth can pose a problem and need to be extracted. Whilst most wisdom teeth erupt without issues, some partially push through the gum and is then trapped or pushing onto the adjacent teeth due to a lack of space, leading to an impacted wisdom tooth. Impacted wisdom teeth eventually cause gum infection, bone infections, ulcers, trapping of food debris, and damage to the adjacent tooth which requires more issues down the track.
In some cases, the wisdom teeth have large cavities due to being so far back in the mouth that it is difficult to clean during daily brushing. These wisdom teeth are usually removed as well despite having enough space to come through.
Wisdom tooth management is a complex decision balancing many factors within the mouth, teeth and jaws. That is why it is essential to make an informed decision about your wisdom teeth with expert guidance from our experienced dental surgeons.
