Many people will experience a problem with one or more of their wisdom teeth in their lifetime. Sometimes these issues can be straightforward to manage, other times patients may need wisdom teeth surgery to rectify the problem. Here at Pearl Dental Clinic, we have highly skilled oral surgeons on site to ensure that you receive the expert care you need.
Wisdom Teeth Surgery
A wisdom tooth can become impacted due to there not being enough room in the mouth for them to grow down into their correct positions. When this happens they can grow through sideways, diagonally, or backward and can cause pain, as well as pressure and damage to surrounding teeth and gum tissue. An oral surgeon may decide to extract a wisdom tooth under the following conditions:
- Cavities or decay have formed on the wisdom tooth, causing issues for the neighbouring tooth/teeth. Because the wisdom teeth are right at the back of the mouth it can make it very difficult to keep the area clean.
- The development of gum disease or inflammation due to difficulties in maintaining dental hygiene.
- Repeated infections occurring in the wisdom tooth area.
- Pain or damage to the neighbouring teeth.
- If a cyst or abscess develops at the site of the wisdom tooth.
