Most of our secondary (adult) teeth will arrive early in life, but wisdom teeth typically take longer to erupt. Unfortunately, when these teeth do start to move into position, there can be too little space for them. In this scenario, you can experience painful teeth crowding, damage to neighboring teeth, or issues with impacted wisdom teeth that arrive at an odd angle. Typically, wisdom teeth are extracted to prevent problems with their eruption. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can actually perform oral surgery to carefully remove wisdom teeth before they create more trouble for you. To stay informed about their movement, attend regular dental exams, which will give us opportunities to study your smile and determine when your wisdom teeth need your dentist’s attention.

The Eruption Of Your Wisdom Teeth Can Spell Trouble For Your Oral Health

If wisdom teeth are impacted, their arrival can create potentially serious problems for your well-being. Awkward partial eruptions can interfere with neighboring teeth, cause issues with crowding, or even make you vulnerable to infection issues. Problems with the arrival of our wisdom teeth tend to occur because, simply put, there is not enough space for them. To address this matter, your dentist can chart their movement and determine when it is a good idea to move forward with their removal.

Arranging Treatment To Have Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

The extraction of wisdom teeth can be different from other forms of tooth extraction for several reasons. One reason is that the removal of your wisdom teeth will not lead to their replacement with dental prostheses. Another is that their removal can actually occur before they have erupted. By performing oral surgery, your dentist will be able to carefully access these teeth and remove them without interfering with their neighbors. Once this is done, we can take care of your surrounding periodontal tissues and help you enjoy a successful recovery.

Make Sure You Do Not Ignore Issues With Dental Pain!

When you start to struggle with dental pain, you should let your dentist know. In some cases, pain and sensitivity can be related to the arrival of wisdom teeth. However, there are other potentially serious issues that can also be responsible for your discomfort. For example, trouble with TMJ disorder could lead to persistent discomfort. You can also have sensitivity or pain because of an advanced cavity, one that can call for root canal therapy to address!
