Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth can often cause discomfort and lead to various dental issues. At Northcliffe Dental in Spring Hill, FL, we understand that dealing with wisdom teeth can be concerning. That’s why Dr. Mohiuddin Ifaz provides gentle, high-quality care along with oral conscious sedation to ensure you are at ease throughout your treatment.
When Wisdom Teeth Extraction is Needed
Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed. Some people have enough space in their mouths to accommodate these third molars without causing problems, allowing them to emerge without issues. However, when space is limited or the wisdom teeth are misaligned, several oral health concerns can arise, including:
- Bite Alignment Issues: Misaligned wisdom teeth can disrupt your bite and may contribute to TMJ pain.
- Teeth Alignment Problems: Wisdom teeth can affect the alignment of neighboring teeth, potentially requiring orthodontic intervention.
- Pericoronitis: An infection under the gums due to a partially erupted wisdom tooth.
- Bone Infection: Infections in the jawbone can occur if wisdom teeth are not properly managed.
Because wisdom teeth are often hard to clean thoroughly with regular brushing and flossing, they can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Removing wisdom teeth is a proactive way to prevent these potential problems and maintain good oral health.
