Reasons to Go for Wisdom Teeth Removal

The emergence of an extra set of molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, can cause several dental problems. Since your permanent teeth are already in place, the arrival of wisdom teeth may cause them to shift, resulting in pain, bite problems, overcrowding, and difficulty brushing and flossing efficiently. Over time, this can lead to cavities or tooth decay. Delaying treatment can result in the need for additional surgeries to straighten affected adjacent teeth. At Riggs Family Dental, our dentists believe that you need to get your wisdom teeth removed:
  • The soft tissue behind the lower last tooth can become repeatedly infected, causing discomfort and pain. In addition, this infection can cause damage to nearby teeth, leading to further dental complications.
  • Extensive tooth decay can also occur in this area, which can be challenging to treat due to its location. If left untreated, it can lead to more severe dental problems.
  • In some cases, the last tooth may stay hidden within the gums, eventually becoming trapped or impacted within the jaw. This can result in infection or abscess, which can damage the roots of other teeth and erode bone support.
At our dental practice, we understand the importance of addressing these issues promptly. Our team of dental professionals is equipped with the expertise and tools needed to diagnose and treat soft tissue infections, dental decay, and impacted teeth. Don’t let these dental problems cause you discomfort or pain.
