Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause impaction and misalignment and increase the risk of decay and gum disease. While not essential for chewing or speaking, removing wisdom teeth early in life can prevent complications. The surgeons at Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery are here to help ensure better oral health through wisdom teeth removal.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom Teeth, also known as the upper and lower third molars, can cause significant dental problems if not removed. There are many benefits to removing your wisdom teeth before they are fully developed. Common benefits include:
Protect Oral Health
When wisdom teeth are left untreated, they are susceptible to several issues that can affect oral health. Since these issues are common with untreated wisdom teeth, most dentists and oral surgeons recommend removing them before fully developing.
Preserve Your Smile
Wisdom teeth tend to be very large and lack the room to come in properly. If you’ve had braces, your teeth could shift out of alignment when four new, large molars are left to come in and undo months (or years) of orthodontic treatment.
Reduce Pain
Wisdom teeth complications can be painful! If they do not fit properly in the mouth, they can create pressure on the surrounding teeth and cause headaches and tooth and gum sensitivity. They are also prone to infection and decay, which are painful oral health conditions.
