Wisdom teeth are the third molars
in the human mouth, located at the end of each row, teeth that no longer play a
role, but exist nevertheless. Wisdom teeth lost their functionality, that is
why they usually suffer from lots of issues, from severe decay to impaction and
to the failure to grow in the right direction, most people requiring wisdom
tooth removal at quite an early age. However, not everyone needs that
extraction – in some people, wisdom teeth grow correctly and in the right
direction, causing no problem at all and not requiring removal. Here are some
of the signs that you need Park Ridge wisdom tooth extraction and you are not that lucky to avoid it:
-
Severe decay and
infections – wisdom teeth are located in difficult to reach places, an feature
that favors the accumulation of bacteria and the development of decay and
infections. If those problems cannot be treated with fillings, the best
recommended solution is extraction;
-
Impaction – wisdom
teeth have a tendency to develop underneath the gum surface, growing without
erupting. These teeth usually cause problems and need to be extracted;
-
Crowding nearby teeth –
if your wisdom tooth does not grow in the right direction, it might start
pushing the adjacent teeth, causing them to become crowded. The best way to
prevent that from happening or to treat the issue is through extraction.
