Wisdom Teeth Extraction Las Vegas

Most Common Reasons Why Wisdom Teeth Should Be Removed

Wisdom teeth are molars that grow at the very back of your gums. The majority of teeth grows during childhood; however, wisdom teeth typically do not appear until between the ages of 12 to 25. It is common for many people, especially children to fear the thought of having them removed. However, if they are left in place, there will typically be problems, especially with the lower teeth. Hi Tech Dental Care in Las Vegas has the technology, to take the fear out of the procedure. Here are some of the most common reasons why wisdom teeth should be removed:

1- Tooth Erosion

Bacteria, saliva and food particles often collect around an impacted wisdom tooth, which may cause it and/or the surrounding teeth to erode. If the wisdom tooth has infection and a level of decay, it may be more difficult to remove the tooth.

2- Infection of the Gums

If the tooth is infected, it is common for the infection to spread to your gums. The infection may lead to extreme pain, swelling, bad breath and the inability to fully open your mouth. The infection can also spread to the neck, cheek and jaw.

3- Misaligned Teeth

Many children and people who do not have their wisdom teeth removed have more frequent visits to their dentist and may require more dental care like braces to correct shifting teeth.

4- Formation of Cyst

If a wisdom tooth become impacted a cyst may develop on the soft tissue around the tooth. Cysts can cause destruction of the bone, damage to the surrounding teeth, jaw expansion and displacement of nearby teeth.
