What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the molars located in the farthest back of the mouth on the top and bottom of the jaw. They are the last teeth to erupt and sometimes have problems like growing in sideways or crooked when there is not enough room for them. Some people never have issues with these teeth while others may experience pain and other dental problems as a result of crooked or impacted wisdom teeth.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom Teeth May be Problematic

The location of wisdom teeth is often the cause of problems. Because they are in the farthest back in the mouth and jawbone, it may be difficult to reach with a toothbrush or floss, creating a greater risk for hidden bacteria and decay. Sometimes they may not erupt through the gum and will become a source of unknown pain.

Because they grow in last, the lack of room on the jawbone can cause pain as the wisdom teeth put pressure on the other teeth. Sometimes they grow in wrong, due to lack of space and the shape of the jawbone in the back of the mouth. When this happens, they may push other molars out of place or put pressure on the jawbone, causing great pain along as they cause crowded and crooked teeth. Sadly, this can also create a need for orthodontics in the future.

When patients experience negative consequences of wisdom teeth, removal is usually the preferred treatment option. By removing the teeth, your molars have room to spread out, making oral care easier. And thanks to today’s technology and the skill of our experienced dentists at Bespoke Dental, wisdom teeth can be removed with less pain and fuss than many people believe.

Symptoms When Wisdom Teeth Become Problems

Due to their unique location, many people are able to identify if their wisdom teeth are growing in wrong or not at all. The following symptoms are commonly associated with poor wisdom teeth placement or growth:

Jaw pain close to the mandible

Pain or pressure on the entire row of molars

Cysts located near the wisdom teeth

Recurring infections

Pain in teeth or jaw from an unknown source

Crooked teeth, as they are crowed together by the force of the wisdom teeth

When you experience pain from your wisdom teeth or an unknown source, a comprehensive dental examination is the best place to begin treatment. Dentists have the right tools and solutions to deal with wisdom teeth, and quite often can remove them without oral surgery. Our experienced dentists will help find the source of your pain and utilize our skills to create a treatment pathway that is best suited for you.

Very friendly and very professional.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Canberra

When wisdom teeth become problems, they should be removed. If not, they can create future dental problems that may lead to pain and costly treatments for relief. Ideally, they are easier to remove before they are fully formed, which is why some patients choose to have them removed before problems begin. The following are risks associated with problematic wisdom teeth:

Tooth decay may take hold in wisdom teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach

Gum disease may begin in the gums near hard-to-reach wisdom teeth and then spread throughout the mouth

Wisdom teeth can crowd other teeth, creating the need for future orthodontics to realign teeth

Wisdom teeth that grow sideways may press into the jawbone, creating the need for a future bone graft

Cysts can erupt due to impacted wisdom teeth, damage to the other teeth or damage to the jawbone

Pressure from wisdom teeth can cause damage to other teeth or crack as they try to break past another tooth

Sinus problems like pressure, pain and congestion may be a result of impacted or unerupted wisdom teeth

If you are experiencing any of these issues, schedule a visit with us right away. Our experienced team of dental professionals will identify the cause of the pain and take x-rays of your wisdom teeth to find hidden problems. We can then form a treatment pathway with the best dental solution for your needs with minimal fuss and stress.

We appreciate that some patients are fearful of tooth removal, but the process today often involves little pain or minimal discomfort, thanks to the use of modern anesthetics and our skilled team of professionals. We provide a caring, comfortable and relaxed setting to help ease any anxiety or stress you may experience.

After Care

Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you may feel some discomfort in the area of removal, which is normal. Swelling and mild pain are residual effects of tooth removal and sometimes sutures. The following are some general suggestions to ensure proper recovery:

Take all medications as prescribed

Avoid smoking

Do not drink from a straw for at least 7 days

Avoid alcohol until all medications are completed

Keep your head elevated when lying down

Do not rinse your mouth for 24 hours after tooth removal, unless recommended by your dentist

Use a gauze pad on sutures, if instructed

Apply an ice pack to your cheek to reduce swelling

Brush and floss as directed by your dentist

Follow up with any after-care dental appointments
