A consultation and special x-ray (panorex) will help us determine whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, if there’s enough space for them to erupt, and how complex removal may be. Wisdom tooth removal is often recommended to prevent complications such as pain, infection, and crowding.
The gum does not retract enough to expose the tooth for adequate cleaning, increasing the risk of infection and inflammation.
The tooth partially erupts, but remains stuck beneath the gum and bone. This can cause pain and cleaning difficulties, leading to decay or gum disease.
The tooth is entirely encased within the jawbone. This is the most complex type and often requires advanced surgical techniques for removal, especially if the tooth is in an abnormal position.
If you’re experiencing pain or crowding, or your dentist has recommended an evaluation, contact us today to schedule a consultation. Early assessment and treatment of impacted wisdom teeth can prevent serious oral health issues down the line.
