Not everyone has problems with their wisdom teeth. However, these “third molars” can cause issues, especially if they become impacted due to having no room to come in. With little room to grow, wisdom teeth may become crooked or cause overcrowding, pushing existing teeth out of alignment. At some point, you may wonder if you should have your wisdom teeth extracted. A visit to Dr. Rina Raichada from Dentistry On 10 can determine if wisdom teeth removal services in Mississauga would be a good choice for you.
Reasons to Consider Wisdom Teeth Removal
For many people, the emergence of wisdom teeth is painful, making it impossible to carry on with their daily routine. Swollen gums, gum sensitivity, jaw pain, and difficulty eating are additional symptoms you may experience when wisdom teeth come in. Dr. Raichada may recommend wisdom teeth removal to relieve pain and avoid future problems with these teeth. The following are some reasons to consider wisdom tooth extraction:
- Avoid oral infections that may occur due to partially impacted teeth
- Reduce the risk of decay and gum disease due to wisdom teeth coming in crooked and being difficult to clean
- Avoid overcrowding
- Protect existing teeth from damage or misalignment
Wisdom teeth removal can help protect existing teeth and maintain your oral health.
Tooth Removal Procedure
Wisdom tooth removal is a routine dental procedure that can be completed in one dental visit. The procedure is done under anesthesia to keep you from feeling pain or discomfort.
If your tooth hasn’t cut through the gum, Dr. Raichada will make a small incision in your gum to expose your tooth and any bone covering your tooth. This bone will be removed so we can gain access to your tooth. Your tooth may be broken and removed in pieces to simplify the process. We’ll then clean the site and stitch your wound to help it heal. Finally, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to expedite your recovery.
