Wisdom teeth, known as the third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually making their appearance in the late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many others face complications that necessitate their removal. At Harmony Dental Studio, we focus on providing a comfortable and safe environment for wisdom teeth extraction, ensuring our patients’ well-being every step of the way.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal is Sometimes Necessary
Wisdom teeth can pose problems when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for them to come in properly. They may grow at an angle, partially emerge, or become trapped (impacted), leading to discomfort, and potential infections. Here’s a look at problems that might indicate the need for their removal:
- Pain and swelling around the gums
- Difficulty cleaning partially erupted teeth
- Damage to neighboring teeth
- Development of cysts around the wisdom teeth
- Gum disease and tooth decay due to overcrowding
