Importance of Extracting Impacted Wisdom Teeth

If the thought of tooth extraction has your stomach in knots, take heart. You’re not alone. Many people have a misconception about tooth extraction, particularly when it comes to removing wisdom teeth. Contrary to popular opinion, however, wisdom teeth removal is not a complicated, painful treatment. This dental procedure is performed under anesthesia, so patients feel no pain or discomfort during their treatment. If your wisdom teeth are causing problems due to being impacted, you can come to Dentistry On 10 in Mississauga, Ontario, for safe, pain-free wisdom teeth extraction services.

Risks of Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are often referred to as your “third molars” that start to come in between your late teen and early adult years. If these molars have no space to grow, they may come through part-way and then become partially impacted. Full wisdom tooth impaction is when they don’t come through the gum line at all. Impacted wisdom teeth put you at risk of numerous dental problems, such as: 

  • Swollen or bleeding gums 
  • Pain when you bite or chew
  • Tooth infections, decay, and gum disease
  • Damage to surrounding teeth 
  • Problems with bite issues
  • Cysts around your jaw

To alleviate pain and prevent these problems from occurring, Dr. Rina Kotecha may recommend a wisdom tooth extraction. 

Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are not really needed for any specific function in your mouth. If they come through without problems and are not crowding existing teeth, there’s no reason to have them extracted. However, impacted wisdom teeth can potentially derail your oral health by causing serious dental problems. Removing impacted wisdom teeth sooner rather than later can prevent these problems before they start.

Procedure - Bridge Testimonial

What issue did you have before you came here with your teeth? Before I came to see Doctor, there was a front tooth of mine which broke and that were two teeth put for me in front. Many years ago, in Tanzania and a slum. So, one day when I was eating something hard It broke so I had to come to doctor. I came and I showed Doctor and Doctor said this has to be removed. Once I remove this, we will have to put a bridge for you And I said Okay because without that two teeth in the front, I could not smile. I was looking terrible You know, so I said to doctor. Okay I’ll, I’ll, put a bridge, she said I’ll put fight for you and I said how much will it cost Doctor, and Doctor gave me the price and I told her OKAY. I have my son in Tanzania. I’m going to tell him about it, tell him about the price and see what he’s saying and asking should I do it here, Should I come to Tanzania and do it, and he told me no mum. I want you to do it with Doctor Rena. So go ahead. So, I came back and I told doctor I want to do it and she started working on me and one day I was called. That’s the day I was going to get my bridge. She told me you’ll have to have patience. You have to for three hours this work will take. I said Okay she handled me so well. The reason is I cannot lie flat on the bed, so I brought my pillow. I put my pillow and doctor worked and worked. Maybe Doctor was getting tired because you know they had to bend down, but she did it then she gave me a break after one and. 1/2 hour. I got up. I came out, had a walk, went back again, then she started again and after three hours she fixed the bridge and she said to me. Look, how do you look now? Oh God, I was shocked. I was shocked. I said doctor, look at my smile, it’s so good Now I don’t have to worry You know, so I can show Everybody, my teeth now like. That so that was it. And I’m so happy with Doctor Reena and I would recommend her to Anybody who ever wants to do a bridge Because she really handled me with care. I do not really know If I had gone some other dentist, if they would have had the patience, the patience she took with me was fantastic and I’m always thanking God for giving such a good doctor.
