Wisdom teeth

Are you feeling an extreme pressure in the eyes, ears and mouth? If so these are some signs that your wisdom teeth are finally coming into place and need to be removed. A dentist in Reading says that the sooner the wisdom teeth are removed the better. Wisdom teeth can cause all kinds of problems for the teeth later on in life and should usually be removed to avoid these problems.

Because the wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth behind all the other teeth and grow in at an angle, they begin to push against the other teeth in the mouth and cause them to squish together. This can cause a need for braces later on in life. The surgery for their removal is short and lasts about 5 minutes per tooth. The mouth is numb and you can’t feel a thing.

The dentist in Reading says that the after affects of the wisdom teeth are very evident. The cheeks swell up like a balloon and need about a week or two to recover. Don’t eat foods you shouldn’t before your mouth is ready whereas this can cause dry sockets to form and they can be very painful. If you have felt the symptoms listed above, ask your dentist if you are ready to have your wisdom teeth removed.
