🔍 What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, there isn’t enough room in the jaw for these teeth to come in properly. As a result, they can become impacted, partially erupted, or misaligned, often leading to pain, infection, or crowding.
⚠️ Common Signs You May Need a Wisdom Tooth Extraction
1. Persistent Pain or Discomfort
If you feel pain at the back of your mouth or jaw, it could be due to an impacted wisdom tooth pressing against surrounding teeth or nerves. This discomfort may worsen when chewing or opening your mouth.
2. Swelling or Redness in the Gums
Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums near the back molars are a sign of irritation or infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth.
3. Jaw Stiffness or Difficulty Opening Your Mouth
Limited jaw movement can occur if a wisdom tooth becomes impacted, leading to swelling and muscle tension in the area.
4. Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste
Trapped food and bacteria around an erupting wisdom tooth can cause infection, resulting in bad breath (halitosis) and a bad taste in your mouth.
5. Shifting or Crowding of Teeth
When wisdom teeth push against nearby molars, they can cause teeth crowding or misalignment, undoing orthodontic results and affecting your bite.
🦷 Why It’s Important to Remove Problematic Wisdom Teeth
Ignoring the symptoms of problematic wisdom teeth can lead to serious complications such as:
Infection or abscess formation
Damage to adjacent teeth or bone
Cysts or tumors near the tooth roots
Gum disease and tooth decay
