The Long-Term Effects of Impacted Wisdom Tooth

Our wisdom tooth/teeth only grow during adulthood. So by the time it grows, the rest of our teeth are already in place. There’s pretty much no space for the wisdom teeth to grow, resulting in them becoming impacted or causing the other teeth to become misaligned and crooked just to make room for these extra teeth.

 

While removing wisdom tooth is not necessary if it isn’t bothering you, it’s important to check out whether you have impacted wisdom tooth or not. You can say a wisdom tooth is impacted if it did not grow upright. This is a problem that needs to be addressed right away because of its potential long-term effects.

Impacted wisdom tooth can cause a lot of pain. When it starts pushing against the adjacent tooth, it causes pressure that can lead to tooth pain. And because impacted wisdom tooth is difficult to reach and difficult to clean with a toothbrush, it becomes affected by cavities over time, which can lead to the development of infections or abscesses. When this happens, you need to go for Oral Surgery in Vancouver to remove the problematic tooth.

If the impacted wisdom tooth is resting against the adjacent tooth, Vancouver oral surgery is also needed because it can damage the adjacent tooth. Over time, the area between the adjacent tooth and the impacted wisdom tooth can become rotten and can lead to long-term damages to the healthy adjacent tooth.

Oral surgery might sound scary at first but once your wisdom tooth is gone, you will feel a lot better. Make sure you look for experienced dental surgeons and clinics such as Ace Dental Centre to perform the surgery.
