By maintaining regular visits to the Sycamore Dental office in Fort Worth, Texas, you can largely prevent the conditions that lead to the need for tooth extraction and complex rehabilitative dental care. Notably, Dr. Vidya Suri keeps on top of changes to your teeth. So she can identify and intervene with problems before they cause pain and damage. She also monitors for issues with the last teeth to develop at the back corners of our mouth. These third molars are commonly referred to as āwisdom teeth,ā because they emerge as teens are entering young adulthood and āgaining wisdom.ā
It is a relief for patients to hear that complications associated with these molars do not have to be a foregone conclusion. With early identification of problems and interventions, we can take steps to prevent the tooth from becoming impacted. The trouble with wisdom teeth is that by the time they fully grow in, there is often insufficient room for them to erupt properly. This situation gives rise to impaction, which occurs when the tooth grows at an angle and becomes either entirely or partway-trapped underneath the gums and in the jawbone.Ā
Impacted third molars can damage the roots of neighboring teeth and crowd them. They can also damage the supportive bone and increase the risk of developing gingival inflammation or infection of the supporting soft tissues (gums).Ā
Addressing potential problems early leads to easier, safer interventions with less demand on the body for recovery. Plus, you avoid the complications mentioned above, as well as the telltale symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth. These symptoms are highly undesirable and include:
Do not wait for potential problems to arise or concerns to become worse. Dr. Suri has successfully treated many wisdom teeth through the years from her office in Fort Worth, TX.
