Impacted wisdom tooth and its extraction

Almost everyone faces dental problems on and off due to poor eating habits and changing lifestyle. Of all the dental issues, wisdom tooth is one problem that most of us encounter. It is during the teenage that this tooth starts showing up. When this tooth develops normally, everything goes fine. However, this is not the case sometimes. There are times when this tooth does not have space to prop out and hence stays within the gum causing infection; besides, it may come out by disturbing the neighbouring teeth due to lack of space. In this case, it grows in a crooked fashion causing pain and discomfort in the whole mouth area.

Effects of impacted wisdom tooth


Wisdom teeth impaction might lead to infection in the gums, crooked teeth and as a result, pain and swelling is experienced. When infection is left unnoticed, the area becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Now, you might think that since you are brushing your teeth every day, it will get cleaned. Well, that is not the case. Since, this area is deep inside the mouth, it is not possible for you to reach it well and clean thoroughly. When an infection appears, it might travel to the other parts of the body through the blood vessels. This is even more dangerous as it may affect any part of the body!

Treatment at your reach


You need not panic, anyways. As soon as the wisdom tooth starts rooting up, you can check with a good dentist Emerald and take a diagnostic test to find out if the growth pattern is appropriate or there is possibility of impaction to occur. If you can rule out issues in the initial stage itself, you need not encounter bigger problems later.

If you are already affected by an impacted tooth, you can get it extracted by an experienced and a well qualified dentist Emerald.
