Wisdom teeth donβt always cause problems... until they do! π¦·
Wisdom teeth are the last to come through and often don't have enough space to erupt properly. When they are partially erupted or impacted, they can trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of decay, infection, and gum inflammation around the surrounding teeth.
Common signs of wisdom tooth issues include:
- Jaw discomfort or swelling
- Tenderness at the back of the mouth
- Bad breath or a metallic taste
- Difficulty cleaning the area
These symptoms may come and go, but the underlying issue often remains. A dental assessment can help determine whether your wisdom teeth need monitoring, extra cleaning, or removal before they lead to more serious problems.
Don't wait for the pain to start! Contact our team for an assessment today.
