Signs of Wisdom Teeth - Tooth extraction and Implant Edmonton

Posted by Joe Baker on November 20th, 2022

Because of their huge tooth and root sizes, wisdom teeth are known to cause issues when they try to erupt into the mouth. In the late teens to the early twenties, they first come to light, typically by the discomfort they are inflicting.

Your dentist has probably mentioned that the wisdom teeth have begun to erupt if your digital X-rays are current. This will prevent you from freaking out when you initially experience the discomfort as these monster teeth compete for space.

If you haven’t seen your Edmonton dentist recently, the first signs of your wisdom teeth may be pain and swelling in the back of the mouth. Sometimes a wisdom tooth can begin to poke through the gums but never fully emerge. In this case, the tooth remains covered by gum tissue like a flap. This flap collects food and bacteria and will result in ongoing battles with infection if not removed. Your dentist may refer you to a wisdom tooth specialist for the extraction.

In almost all cases your wisdom teeth can be removed by your dentist right in the clinic.
