Understanding Wisdom Teeth and the Importance of Evaluation
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, can pose significant oral health concerns if not properly evaluated and managed. At Willistead Family Dental, we emphasize the importance of regular dental check-ups, including thorough evaluations of wisdom teeth, to maintain optimal oral health.
Indications for Extraction
Impacted Wisdom Teeth:
When wisdom teeth cannot erupt properly due to limited space, they may become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
Overcrowding:
The eruption of wisdom teeth can disrupt the alignment of existing teeth, causing overcrowding and bite issues.
Infection or Decay:
Wisdom teeth are prone to decay and infection due to their position at the back of the mouth, potentially causing oral health complications if left untreated.
Cysts or Tumors:
In rare cases, wisdom teeth may develop cysts or tumors, necessitating extraction to prevent further complications.
The Importance of Evaluation
Regular dental evaluations play a crucial role in monitoring the growth and development of wisdom teeth. Our dental team is dedicated to identifying any potential issues early on and recommending appropriate treatment to prevent future problems.
