When might Port Credit area patients need wisdom teeth removal?

Patients in and around the Port Credit area who visit Dr. Rina Kotecha at Dentistry on 10 are introduced to reasons wisdom teeth removal may be necessary. Her team of professionals understands how the development of wisdom teeth may become an issue and result in problems that can only be addressed with extraction.

Wisdom teeth, which are often referred to by dental professionals as the “third molars,” are the teeth that do not erupt through the gum line until patients are in their late teens or early adulthood. They come through in the rear of the mouth at the back of the dental arch, and in some cases, they may become impacted. Impaction means they become “stuck” behind the other teeth, and patients may experience pain and discomfort. Other times, the teeth may erupt through the gum tissue, but may push the rest of the teeth out of the way and affect alignment, requiring patients to undergo orthodontic treatment to correct this. Some wisdom teeth may erupt into place exactly as expected without becoming problematic, but their placement at the back of the mouth can make them difficult to keep clean, therefore increasing one’s risk for dental decay and periodontal disease. Dr. Rina Kotecha may be more proactive and suggest extraction of these teeth, especially when room within the mouth is limited.

Extraction may involve simple removal after the tooth has erupted through the gum line, or oral surgery to take the tooth out before it becomes a problem or after it has become impacted. An evaluation with x-rays will help Dr. Rina Kotecha determine the concerns and make a recommendation regarding what should be done for improvement.

If you reside in or around the area of Port Credit and want to speak to a professional about wisdom teeth removal, contact Dr. Rina Kotecha and the team of Dentistry on 10. She can see patients for a consultation visit and help them decide the best course of action for the health and beauty of their smiles.
