Unfortunately, most people do not have the space in their jaw required to properly accommodate their incoming wisdom teeth. Because of this lack of space, it is possible that the patient’s wisdom teeth will not be able to fully break through their gums. These teeth will become impacted and put pressure on the patient’s other teeth. This can result in crooked teeth and tooth decay. For these reasons, Dr. Andre Hughes recommends that his Toronto, ON area patients consider a wisdom tooth extraction before these problems can occur.
When wisdom teeth are not able to fully pass through your gums, they become what we call “impacted”. This can result in bad breath, jaw pain, and even headaches. Having these teeth pulled before they begin to pass through your gums can be beneficial, as Dr. Hughes will get to these teeth before they can pose a real problem for your oral health.
When a wisdom tooth is removed, it is possible that the patient will develop a condition called “dry socket”. This condition occurs when food and bacteria accumulate in the empty space left behind by the extracted wisdom tooth. Fortunately, Dr. Hughes is equipped to treat this condition, meaning that you will be well looked after during the entirety of the wisdom tooth extraction process.
If you fail to have your wisdom teeth extracted, then chances are high that you will develop oral conditions that can end up ruining your smile. Fortunately, Dr. Andre Hughes and the staff at Christie Park Dental can help. With training in wisdom tooth extraction and dry socket treatment, Dr. Hughes is equipped with the skills required to help Toronto area patients find relief from impacted and erupting wisdom teeth.
