Mississauga area dentist reviews with patients the benefits of wisdom teeth extractions

The wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are the last teeth to erupt through the gum line. These teeth often come through in the late teen years or in early adulthood. They come through at the very back of the dental arch behind the existing molars and are known for becoming extremely problematic.

Wisdom teeth can become impacted because there is not enough room for them to break through the gum line. This can cause patients great pain. Additionally, even if they do erupt through the gum line, they may be hard to clean and leave patients at risk for periodontal disease and tooth decay. Patients who have spent many years having their teeth aligned with orthodontics may notice a setback when their wisdom teeth come through as they can negatively impact the alignment of the dental arch and require additional work.

Dr. Rina Kotecha of Mississauga reviews with her patients the benefits of wisdom teeth extractions. In cases that the wisdom teeth have become impacted, removal can relieve patients from the pain they may experience. Teeth that are hard to clean or are risking alignment of the dental arch may make lives easier with extraction.

Most patients will have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner of the mouth, but some patients may have up to eight total. Sometimes this is determined by genetics. When patients have x-rays done for examinations, Dr. Rina Kotecha can notify patients if there may be any expected issues with wisdom teeth within the smile.

If you reside in or around the Mississauga community and have considered speaking to a dental professional about removal of the wisdom teeth, contact Dr. Rina Kotecha of Dentistry on 10 today to book a consultation visit and initial examination. We encourage patients to take the time to learn about the advantages of wisdom teeth removal and discuss the reasons why it can be extremely beneficial for the health and function of the smile.
