SIGNS YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED
Often, people between the ages of 17-21 experience the growth of wisdom teeth, which can cause pain and discomfort. Some common signs that you need to have wisdom teeth removed are:
Impacted teeth: In many cases, wisdom teeth become impacted and don't have adequate space to grow. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause many problems, such as pain, bleeding, swelling in the gums, and jaw pain.
Incorrect growth: Wisdom teeth that don't grow correctly take up too much space. In these cases, it is impossible to straighten them with braces, and removal is the only option.
Pain and discomfort: Crooked and impacted wisdom teeth can cause severe pain, which only an extraction can help relieve.
Cavities: It might be difficult for you to clean your teeth properly because of the wisdom teeth, which can lead to cavities.
On top of this, wisdom teeth can cause cysts, sinus issues and inflamed gums. Contact us if you have an issue with your wisdom teeth. We can provide you with an emergency appointment if your pain is unbearable.
