However, it\u2019s also one of the most common oral surgeries performed, as it helps to prevent future problems that often develop as a result of impacted wisdom teeth. Here\u2019s a little more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/wisdom-tooth-removal.html\">wisdom tooth extraction in Columbia<\/a> and three signs that indicate it\u2019s time for the teeth to come out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Gum Infection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most frequent problems that occurs when wisdom teeth are unable to erupt through the gumline is infection. Without enough room for total eruption, the gum tissue around the wisdom teeth can become irritated and infected, resulting in swelling, recurrent pain, and potential problems with chewing and swallowing. Gum infection can lead to some pretty severe complications if it remains untreated but having the impacted wisdom teeth extracted is often a viable treatment option. Some common signs of gum infection include throbbing pain in the back of your jaw, swelling and redness, constant bad breath, and illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cyst Formation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-infectious diseases might also arise if the wisdom teeth become impacted. Cysts are essentially fluid-filled \u201cballoons\u201d inside of the jawbone that slowly expand, resulting in damage to the jawbone and occasionally other teeth. This issue can be a little troublesome to treat if your wisdom teeth are not removed during the teenage years, and in very rare cases, tumors can develop. If you notice small lumps or liquid-filled pockets in the back of your mouth, or experience pain or swelling that impacts your ability to chew and swallow, you should contact your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Damage to Adjacent Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your wisdom teeth don\u2019t have enough room inside of your mouth to erupt properly, they can place excess pressure on your surrounding teeth. This overcrowding can lead to misalignment and also even damage to the adjacent molars. If you\u2019re experiencing new gaps between the teeth or noticing that your teeth don\u2019t fit together as well as they used to, it might be a sign that your wisdom teeth need to come out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, there are many reasons that indicate wisdom tooth extraction might be necessary, but the procedure is always going to be in the best interest of your smile and future oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beck Dental Care of Columbia is thrilled to serve the dental needs of patients and families in the area.
