Not fully functional for chewing, wisdom teeth usually trouble young people as they emerge from the jaws between the ages of 17 to 25.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Wisdom teeth can be more than a nuisance<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, wisdom teeth do not always fully erupt into proper position in the mouth. They might remain impacted beneath the gum line, causing seriously uncomfortable symptoms of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>tooth, gum or jaw pain<\/li>\n<li>jaw swelling and tenderness<\/li>\n<li>infection (pus)<\/li>\n<li>tooth decay<\/li>\n<li>gum disease (reddened, bleeding gums, swollen gums)<\/li>\n<li>impingement on adjacent molars, causing misalignment of other teeth<\/li>\n<li>chronic bad breath (halitosis)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, some wisdom teeth become encapsulated in cysts. While these fluid-filled cysts are rarely cancerous, they cause substantial discomfort and swelling. They also push on surrounding teeth, roots and bone and require extraction.<\/p>\n<h3>What to do about an impacted wisdom tooth?<\/h3>\n<p>While skilled dentists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">H<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">. <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Douglas<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Clark<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">III<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">DDS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">and<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Doug<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Clark<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">, <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Jr<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">. <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">DDS<\/a> track wisdom teeth development in younger patients,\u00a0 acute problems can still occur.

The tooth may require just a simple extraction or sometimes incision of the gums to pull the tooth. Often, wisdom teeth are completely hidden below the gums or can be erupting at a forward, backward or sideways angle.<\/p>\n<h3>What does after care involve?<\/h3>\n<p>After wisdom tooth extraction, the patient rests at home and uses over the counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain as needed. Dr. Clark may prescribe stronger pain relievers and antibiotics as well, especially in the case of infection.<\/p>\n<p>For additional comfort, rinse the mouth gently several times a day with warm salt water. Slowly introduce soft foods such as yogurt and soups as tolerated, and avoid drinking with a straw for a few days as the suction could disrupt the sutures.<\/p>\n<h3>Patients do well after Superior wisdom tooth extraction<\/h3>\n<p>If you suspect a problem with one of your third molars, or \u201cwisdom teeth,\u201d contact the friendly dental team at Hill Avenue Dental.
