Your Mayfair Dentist Will Help You Make the Right Decision Regarding Your Wisdom Teeth
There are some who can count themselves amongst the very lucky few who have wisdom teeth that come in without difficulty. But for those of us who are less fortunate, we can count on our Mayfair dentist to help us deal with wisdom teeth that either just won’t erupt the surface or that are painful or cause over crowding from their first appearance.
In rare occurrences you may have the surgery in the hospital, especially if you are having all your wisdom teeth pulled at one time or if you are at high risk for complications but the procedure to remove most wisdom teeth is simple and can be performed right in your dentist’s office.
Reasons to have your wisdom teeth pulled
Wisdom teeth are extracted to correct issues they are creating for the other teeth in your mouth or to prevent future problems from occurring. There are several problems that can occur:
? Your wisdom teeth may only grow enough to break partway through your gums and a flap of gum tissue will grow over them. It will be easy for food to get caught under the flap and your gums will become swollen, and painful from infection.
? Impacted wisdom teeth never actually break the skin, possibly because you jaw is not large enough to fit them. Non visible and partially visible wisdom teeth can become susceptible to bacteria that can lead to infection and cysts and tumors can grow on a trapped wisdom tooth. In addition to irritation and pain these can lead to gum disease.
? Sometimes your wisdom teeth grow in at an awkward angle and the top of the tooth will face forward, backward, or to either side and this can cause damage to the last tooth before the wisdom tooth because of a lack of room.
If you are have these or any other issues with your wisdom teeth, it is important not to put off having them pulled. In fact, the younger the patient, the easier the healing will be. If you find yourself looking for a Mayfair dentist to help ease your wisdom teeth problems, then Dr. Stewart Charchuk and his team of professionals have the experience to take care of your oral needs no matter what attention your wisdom teeth require.
