Wisdom tooth Extraction
By Island Dental

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars on the upper and lower jaw. According to the dentists, they appear either in the late teens or in the early twenties and can be a valuable asset to the mouth if they erupt in a proper manner. But if they appear in a misaligned way, they can have severe adverse effects on your oral health. Some common side effects of misaligned wisdom tooth are as follows –

  • Intense pain in the jaw.
  • Severe swelling.
  • Inflamed and irritated gums.
  • Profuse bleeding.
  • Foul smell from the mouth.
  • Damage to the remaining teeth.
  • Loss of bone.

In this blog, we have represented 5 major reasons why you should have your problematic wisdom tooth extracted right away.

1. Inflammation and Infection –

Due to limited space and partial impactions, an impacted wisdom tooth often lead to gum inflammation. An inflamed gum, in turn, results in painful gum disease and other related oral hazards. As per a recent report, it becomes very difficult for the dentists to treat patients if gum infection has already started spreading its roots. Additionally, when a tooth is partially impacted, the space between it and the gum becomes a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, which again dramatically increases the risk of infection.

2. Results In Overcrowding –

In most cases, it has been observed that when wisdom tooth erupts, it enters into an already crowded area. Thus, it gets very little room to erupt freely. The neighboring teeth are often pushed aside, thereby resulting in misalignment. The worst part is that it can even hamper the look of your smile even if you have a beautiful and attractive one.

3. Damages The Adjacent Teeth –

As already mentioned, overcrowding is a common side effect of an impacted wisdom tooth. Sometimes, it causes even more damage to the adjacent teeth by contributing to bone loss and cavities. In this way, it affects your complete oral health.

4. Causes Cysts And Tumors –

Cysts and tumors are a common outcome of an impacted wisdom tooth. Cysts and tumors again lead to intense pain in the jaw, which sometimes lead to grave dental disorders, such as TMJ. This is when consulting an experienced dentist becomes a necessity.

5. Difficulty In Cleaning –

If the wisdom tooth has erupted freely inside your mouth without causing any pain or worry, your oral health might still be at risk. The space between your adjacent in such a situation teeth will be less and you would face extreme difficulty while brushing and flossing around a wisdom tooth. This makes the wisdom tooth vulnerable to cavities and plaque buildup.
