WHEN SHOULD WISDOM TEETH BE REMOVED
Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into the mouth (erupt). Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom.
Pain is a sign that their wisdom teeth have erupted and may need extraction .but it is not only reason for wisdom teeth removal others include recurring infections in the soft tissue behind the last teeth,cysts,tumours,damage to neigbouring teeth,tooth decay ,and gum diseases.
1.Inflammation and infection:
Due to limited space and partial impactions, wisdom teeth often lead to gum inflammation. This can lead to painful gum disease. Recent studies show that once inflammation onset, it is very difficult to alleviate it and it spreads to surrounding area.When a tooth is partially impacted, a separation between it and the gums creates a breeding ground for bacteria, which increases the risk of infection.
2. Damage to nearby teeth
An impacted wisdom tooth can lead to tiny tumors or cysts in the jawbone, which can lead to joint pain that would require the assistance of a TMJ specialist and a variety of TMJ treatment options that you would rather avoid.
4. Difficulty Eating:
If you experience pain while eating, this might be a reason to have your wisdom teeth taken out. Food could be getting stuck between the gums and the tops of the teeth. This could cause many problems if you cannot get to the back of the mouth and clean well enough while brushing.
