Important Insights into Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal, also known as third molar extraction, is a common dental procedure performed to address issues related to the third set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. At Madison Dentistry and Implant Center, we understand the importance of this procedure in maintaining oral health.

Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Impaction:

• Partial Impaction: When the wisdom teeth emerge partially through the gums, it creates an opening where bacteria can enter, leading to infection and gum disease.

• Full Impaction: If the wisdom teeth are trapped within the jawbone, they can cause pain, swelling, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Overcrowding:

• Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, shifting, and misalignment of the other teeth, affecting the bite and overall oral health.

Infection:

• Wisdom teeth that are partially erupted can be difficult to clean properly, increasing the risk of infection, tooth decay, and gum disease.

Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Prevents Future Problems:

• Removing wisdom teeth prevents future dental issues such as infection, crowding, and misalignment.

Pain Relief:

• Extracting problematic wisdom teeth alleviates pain and discomfort associated with impaction and infection.

Improves Oral Health:

• Removing wisdom teeth improves overall oral health and reduces the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
