Impacted Wisdom Teeth
impacted wisdom teeth removal Sunshine Coast. Wisdom teeth or third molars are the final pair of molars that people usually get in their late teens or early twenties. The emergence of wisdom teeth may bring you pain or discomfort in your gums. People will usually get four wisdom teeth – two on the bottom and two on the top. Getting wisdom teeth is a common milestone in dental health, but some may face issues in its growth.

This may cause you pain, oral discomfort, and sometimes bleeding gums. You must get in touch with us at Buderim Dental Care so we can book a consultation with our expert dentist.

Should I Extract My Impacted Wisdom Tooth?

Wisdom teeth, for some, may not grow normally like the other teeth. Moreover, its misalignment causes discomfort and problems in the gums. Therefore it is best that you have it checked with our dentists at Buderim Dental Care. They can help you get it extracted. Here is why you should get your wisdom tooth removed in Buderim:

Bleeding or Inflamed Gums
Inflammation and Pain in the Jaw
Bad Breath
Headaches and Painful Jaw
A Distasteful Palate
From misalignment to infection and cavities, a problematic wisdom tooth can cause a myriad of dental issues. When the wisdom tooth tries to erupt at a misaligned angle, it tends to push the second molar, causing damage to it. The second molar becomes susceptible to infection.
The wisdom tooth comes out in a sac located within the jawbone. When the tooth is impacted, the sac may fill up with fluid and form a cyst, which may damage the jawbone, nerves, and tooth. The complication requires the immediate attention of a caring dentist who may have to remove the bone and tissue.
Partially appeared wisdom teeth pose a high risk of tooth decay. This is because food easily gets trapped between the partially erupted wisdom tooth and the gum, causing bacteria to develop, which causes tooth decay. The decay in the tooth causes inflammation in the gums and becomes painful. Pain and discomfort in the gums can also cause headaches and pain in the jawbones.
Therefore, if you do not want your oral health to suffer then, you must book an appointment with our expert dentists as soon as you detect the symptoms of an impacted wisdom tooth. Delaying the extraction process can cause complications and unbearable pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why get yourself treated at Buderim Dental Care?
What is the cost of removing an impacted wisdom tooth?
Are there any risks in the wisdom tooth extraction process?
One type of risk that a patient may develop is – ‘dry socket’ post-surgery. This may happen at least 3 to 4 days after the wisdom tooth has been extracted. The blood clot that should be formed after the extraction of the wisdom tooth is either dissolved or dislodged before the wound is completely healed. This tends to expose the nerves and bone beneath and will cause you pain and bad breath. You must get in touch with our dentist immediately to fix the problem.
The second type of risk is strained jaws. This happens when the wisdom teeth in the lower gum are connected to the nerves quite closely. Patients get a weird sensation in their lips. This is a temporary condition and subsides soon, but if the problem persists, you must get in touch with our dentist.
How does it feel after extracting the wisdom teeth?

- Rough rinsing of the mouth, blowing the nose, and spitting should be avoided for a certain number of days, as advised by the dentist.
