For many people having their wisdom teeth come in is a very painful experience. If your dentist recommends that you have them removed, often it’s because they are crowding the teeth around them. This tight crowding may cause your other teeth to break or shift out of place. Removing them will make room for your other teeth to move, providing more comfort.
You should think about having your wisdom teeth removed if they become painful, or you start to notice that your teeth are no longer lining up the way they would naturally. You should also check with your dentist when you notice an infection in your gums or around your teeth. Your dentist will tell you if they are not coming in correctly by using an x-ray.
Your dentist can pull wisdom teeth out with a local anesthetic or with a surgical procedure. If this is the case, the dentist may have to cut out the impacted teeth. When this type of extraction is needed, your dentist will put you under general anesthesia. Your dentist will explain the procedure and allow you to ask any questions you may have, and give you a complete set of instructions for you to follow after you leave the office.
Bad teeth usually result in poor overall health. Pulling your wisdom teeth removes any potential for infection that may be present. You will be able to chew your food more efficiently if your teeth align properly. Removing your wisdom teeth will accomplish that. Having your wisdom teeth removed will also create enough space for your teeth to shift, making them less crowded and more comfortable.
