Wisdom Tooth Problems and Treatment
Allow me to discuss a new topic which is about the wisdom tooth.
The third molars at the back of your mouth are your wisdom teeth.
They can become impacted if there isn’t enough room for them to emerge or erupt from the gumline and develop in a normal fashion.
Impaction happens when the wisdom tooth ends up below the gumline because of its failure to erupt.
It may be partially impacted or fully impacted, resulting in a gum flap that could serve as a pocket for all sorts of bacteria to move into and infect your gums and mouth.
Most people nowadays don’t have enough room in their jaw for the wisdom tooth to properly erupt. So there’s a need for people to surgically remove or extract at least 2 of the 4 wisdom teeth, particularly if there are symptoms showing.
The impacted wisdom teeth don’t have any obvious symptoms.
Patients only react to it when the pain has become too much.
The pain usually happens when the impacted tooth becomes infected due to how hard it is to clean up.
The gum flap created due to impaction becomes a place where bacteria cause various dental problems and potentially damages to the neighboring teeth.
This is just an introduction as we will be making a deep dive on the nature of wisdom tooth and what people can do to alleviate the symptoms.
