Information About Wisdom Teeth and Wisdom Teeth Pain

Wisdom teeth regularly make their debut between the ages of 16 and 21; it’s possible for them to come through earlier or later. Wisdom Teeth are commonly referred to as your third molars. These four teeth start to push through the skin similar to any other tooth; that can cause severe pain. Wisdom teeth are more likely to develop in at an angle, even sideways, creating an impact that can spread this pain to the teeth around it. The American Dental Association (ADA) advises that wisdom teeth can also occur in a host of other issues, such as diseases, infections, and possible cysts, so it’s essential to To Call Troy Family Dental @ 618-667-8020 when your wisdom teeth do grow in. For many people in today’s world, wisdom teeth removal is a safe and preferred option.

The reason numerous people need their wisdom teeth extracted is due to their jaw being mismatched to their teeth. When wisdom teeth try to come through, they naturally cannot fit and become stricken by the teeth around them. This can happen in a number of ways:

Pain; When wisdom teeth begin to cause pain the issues listed below are already thoroughly underway. If your wisdom teeth become impacted, the tooth pain and contamination would eventually become so great that you would not be able to bear the pain much longer. If you wait this long then it is expected that other teeth close to your wisdom teeth are well past saving as well, there have been cases where dentists have had to remove eight teeth rather than four teeth had the wisdom teeth simply been pulled out initially.

A cavity in the adjacent tooth; wisdom teeth can frequently come so close to the tooth facing them that over time it can cause a cavity on the facing tooth. This can lead to you losing more teeth than merely the wisdom teeth.

A cyst can develop and encompass the wisdom tooth; if cyst forms then it can eat away at the jaw bone inducing damage to the tooth or gums, pain and usually more dental work to correct the situation.

Detached gums encompassing wisdom teeth; The way that the gum attaches around the wisdom teeth is not as strong as it is to the other teeth. This can allow for bacteria to develop and then the tooth and gum to get infected. People who are encountering this typically talk about their swollen gums or exposed nerves. A sensation like a tooth is moving up and down is another thing patients commonly report. This isn’t the case it just feels like it because of the issues with the encompassing gum.

Wisdom Teeth Pain Relief

Cloves, Clove Oil Use

Like an old wives’ treatment, Mayo Clinic recommends using cloves or clove oil as a way to satisfy toothaches and wisdom teeth pain directly.
