Wisdom Teeth Extractions at Jindalee Complete Dental
If you or your teenager are experiencing wisdom teeth growing in, you may be concerned about their ability to erupt. It’s common that wisdom teeth can’t come up through the gums as they should due to crowding or the tooth being rotated. We can evaluate you or your child and determine the placement of the wisdom teeth. From this information, we’ll let you know if we recommend their removal.
The Trouble With Wisdom Teeth
You might wonder what the harm is in letting your wisdom teeth grow in. They’re usually the last to erupt and are located in the back of the mouth. Often, there isn’t ample space in the jaw for these new teeth. The result is impaction, which can cause an infection or shift your other teeth out of place. You may feel pain or be subject to tooth decay since the wisdom teeth are difficult to clean properly with a brush or floss.
The signs that you have trouble with your wisdom teeth include:
- Chronic bad breath
- Fever
- Difficulty opening your mouth or swallowing
- Inflamed, painful, swollen or red gums
- Pus around the gum area
- Swollen or sore lymph nodes under the jaw
