Are you suffering from the pain of third molars or Wisdom tooth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop and typically emerge in early adulthood. While some people are lucky enough to have sufficient room in their mouths for these teeth, many others experience discomfort, pain, and infection due to the lack of space for these teeth to grow. In these cases, removal of the wisdom teeth may be the only solution to alleviate symptoms and prevent further dental problems. In this article, we will discuss the various reasons why wisdom teeth may need to be removed. 

Why is removal the only solution for wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth can cause several problems when they grow in, including:

1. Crowding: Wisdom teeth may push other teeth out of their way, causing misalignment or crowding of other teeth in the mouth.

2. Infection: Wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean, leading to the buildup of bacteria and plaque, which can cause infection and inflammation.

3. Impaction: When wisdom teeth do not emerge fully or grow in at an angle, they may become impacted, which means they are trapped in the gum tissue or bone. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.

4. Cysts: Cysts can form around impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause damage to the surrounding bone and tooth roots.

Given these potential problems, dentists often recommend removing wisdom teeth that are causing discomfort or pain. In some cases, wisdom teeth may be removed preventively, even if they are not causing immediate problems, to avoid future dental issues.
