No one enjoys having their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bearcreekfamilydentistry.com\/oral-surgery.html#wisdom\">wisdom teeth in Mesquite<\/a> extracted, but oftentimes, it\u2019s a necessity. Luckily, your dentist is skilled in these types of surgeries, so there\u2019s nothing to be concerned about. But what if you\u2019re not experiencing any pain? How do you know when your wisdom teeth should be removed? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Are Wisdom Teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>When teenagers or young adults are between the ages of 17 and 25, it is common for third molars to make themselves present. More times than not, your dentist will suggest oral surgery in Mesquite to extract them and prevent discomfort that can increase when they are firmly rooted in the bone. If the time has arrived, break out the ice packs and soft foods because you\u2019re going to need them.<\/p>\n<h2>How Will I Know When it\u2019s Time to Have Them Removed?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not always easy to tell when wisdom teeth should be removed. Pain is a clear indicator, but if you&#8217;re adhering to your regular six-month checkups, your dentist will be able to fully exam your mouth to determine if your third molars should take their leave. If any of the following are present, you\u2019ll know it\u2019s time for a wisdom tooth (teeth) extraction:<\/p>\n<h3>Lack of Room<\/h3>\n<p>When your wisdom teeth begin to push through and cause nearby teeth to shift or move around, it can cause severe pain or bite problems.<\/p>\n<h3>Alignment<\/h3>\n<p>If your third molars are impacted, it can lead to problems with your other teeth. This can make it difficult to straighten them, if necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Swollen or Inflamed Gums<\/h3>\n<p>If you notice your gums are swelling, the ability to clean the infected area can be difficult, especially if pockets are forming between your teeth. This can open the door for bacteria to grow and cavities to form.<\/p>\n<h3>Sinus Problems<\/h3>\n<p>If your wisdom teeth are wreaking havoc on your sinuses, it\u2019s time for them to go. Their presence adds additional pain, pressure, and even congestion due to their location and proximity to your sinuses.<\/p>\n<h3>Damage to Your Jaw<\/h3>\n<p>Once your third molars come in, you may notice cysts beginning to form around them. If they&#8217;re not treated promptly, these cysts can damage nerves and hollow out your jaw!<\/p>\n<p>Having your wisdom teeth removed is nothing to be afraid of. Your oral surgeon is a skilled professional who is capable of removing them, so you feel no pain throughout the procedure. Yes, there will be some discomfort afterward, but within a few days, you\u2019ll be feeling better, and your teeth will be thanking you for the extra room!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Practice <\/strong><br \/>\nAt Bear Creek Family Dentistry Mesquite office, our team of dental experts have three decades of dental experience.
