Why you might need it

 


The pain of toothache can leave us in agony and misery, sometimes unable to function. Arriving after we reach adulthood, our wisdom teeth (or third molars) can cause a range of dental problems. They can be obstructed by our other 28 adult teeth and emerge at an angle or get stuck and only partially come through The Family Smiles Dental is suitably located at 1011 N Hwy 77, Ste 105, Waxahachie, is the besaffordable dentist office near me .

Food and bacteria can get trapped around the edges of such teeth and cause on-going problems such as tooth decay (caries) and gum disease - despite regular brushing and flossing. Removing some or all of the wisdom teeth can be a long term solution.

Why you might need it

Our wisdom teeth typically emerge in our late teens or early 20s. Some people never develop them while others have up to four – one in each back corner of the mouth.

Wisdom teeth usually cause no problems, but if there isn’t enough space for them to grow and they become 'impacted', they can cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to other teeth. 

With food and bacteria more likely to get trapped around the edges of impacted wisdom teeth, plaque can build up and cause short and long-term dental problems - no matter how good you are at cleaning and flossing. These can include:

tooth decay gum disease pericoronitis - inflammation of the gum around wisdom teeth cellulitis - a bacterial infection in the cheek, tongue or throat abscess - when a bacterial infection causes pus to collect in your wisdom teeth or the surrounding tissue

If treatments such as antibiotics and antiseptic mouthwash haven't worked for any of these problems, or you are regularly affected by pain and discomfort, removing one or more of the wisdom teeth can provide a long-term solution.
