Not everyone will develop wisdom teeth, however, for those that do problems can occur.
Wisdom teeth usually erupt between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. Although, this is not always the case. Some patients can experience wisdom tooth eruption later on in life. These teeth are the last to grown down and they are situated right at the back of the mouth next to the molars. If you are experiencing a painful or loose wisdom tooth then do give us a call to book an appointment. We can provide emergency appointments for those with urgent issues.
Loose Wisdom Tooth
It is not all that common for wisdom teeth to become loose. If they do then this is likely to signify a deeper problem with the mouth. This could be a sign of gum disease (gingivitis) or advanced gum disease (periodontitis). There could also be overcrowding in the mouth. It is important that you seek emergency dental treatment straight away so the problem can be investigated quickly. Seeking professional help is also important because, if left untreated, a dental abscess could form. This will then cause many other complications. Some of which could end up being very severe. An oral surgeon may need to extract the wisdom tooth. Following this, a periodontist may need to treat the cause of the loose teeth. The clinic has a specialist in both areas to ensure you get the most advanced care possible.
