Did you know that it’s possible to be born without wisdom teeth? While certainly possible, it is rather rare; so for the rest of us, we often need our wisdom teeth to be removed. If you aren’t experiencing pain from your wisdom teeth or they appear to be emerging without issue you may wonder if it’s worthwhile to undergo a procedure to remove them, but in most cases, it’s sensible and necessary as a preventative measure.
When wisdom teeth are not addressed and removed if necessary, they can create a number of issues. They may erupt crooked or only partially. They may become impacted and affect the gum, jaw bone and surrounding teeth. They may continue to cause pain and tooth sensitivity. They may even create conditions in which cyst and tumors can easily develop.
Since the procedure for removing wisdom teeth is typically straightforward and involves minimal and manageable discomfort, it’s a case of being better safe than sorry. If you are in need of wisdom tooth removal or an exam to address any erupted wisdom teeth, we invite you to visit us here at Greenville Family Dentistry. You can learn more about wisdom teeth and their removal right on our website.
