Most people’s wisdom teeth come in between the ages of 17 and 25, and not all of them fit without a struggle. However, if such late-appearing molars grow and there is not enough space to accommodate them, it may give rise to many symptoms. These warning signs tend to be ignored, but they will result in pain, infection, and complex treatment later on. The Specialist dentists at Dentity Dental will help you recognize the symptoms early, which will help you avoid wasting time, money, and prolonging unnecessary, complex issues longer than necessary.
Symptoms: The first symptom is tenderness at the back of the last tooth. This ache might come and go, but it gets worse as the tooth comes through the gum or is impacted and unable to break through properly. The pain can be mistaken for generalized sensitivity, but when there is pinpoint pain and recurrence, these are clear signs that something's not quite right.
Common warning signs also include a sensation of heating or a little reddish colour around the back gums. The gum tissue around where the wisdom tooth is coming out is also irritated, and it doesn't look like the tooth is coming up correctly. At times, a gum growth covers the semi-erupted tooth, thereby trapping food and bacteria inside the gum, which causes severe pain.
There is only a small amount of movement a patient can do inside the mouth when the impacted tooth pushes up into the jaw. This is typically abrupt and can make chewing painful. This may ultimately develop into lockjaw, a severe limitation of jaw movement.
The bacteria accumulate around a partially erupted wisdom tooth, hence creating an infection pocket. What it leaves behind, however, is bad breath or a metallic and iodine-like taste in the mouth. If brushing doesn't help and if this does not respond to your normal hygiene, you have to get tested at Dentity Dental, which is a chain of multispeciality dental clinics in Kolkata and West Bengal, for early Pericoronitis infection around the wisdom tooth.
This results in the pain spreading to other areas nearby as the wisdom tooth develops near your jaw joints and nerve channels. Although it is the tooth causing you issues, a headache, ear pain, or pressure in your face (as if someone with massive hands is pushing on your cheek) can be experienced.
Smiling may suddenly be tight or the teeth start to overlap, possibly because an erupting wisdom tooth has destroyed other molars.
To prevent this problem and protect your smile, Dentity Dental provides you safe, reliable, affordable, and patient-friendly, best treatment.
