When we need Extraction?
- Wisdom teeth that aren’t in the right position can trap food. This gives cavity-causing bacteria a place to grow.
- Wisdom teeth that haven’t come in properly can make it difficult to floss between the wisdom teeth and the molars next to them.
- Wisdom teeth that have partially come through can give bacteria a place to enter the gums and create a place for infection. This may also lead to pain, swelling and stiffness in your jaw.
- A wisdom tooth that is impacted can possibly form a cyst on or near the impacted tooth.
What are the risks?
- Pain and swelling in your gums and tooth socket where the tooth was removed.
- Bleeding that won’t stop for about 24 hours.
- Difficulty with or pain from opening your jaw.
- Slow-healing gums.
- Damage to existing dental work, such as crowns or bridges, or to roots of a nearby tooth.
