Cause:

As mentioned above, wisdom teeth are often useless in the case of modern people, and there is no room for them to erupt at all. Doctors generally recommend that teeth can be preserved as much as possible because the teeth have their occlusal function or aesthetic function, but wisdom teeth are in fact the opposite, so we do not specifically recommend that you keep wisdom teeth.

As for why wisdom teeth need to be removed, in general, wisdom teeth removal is recommended if there is impaction or dental disease (e.g. tooth decay, periodontal disease or tumour)

Impacted wisdom teeth:

When eating, food debris can easily hide between the gaps between the teeth and develop tooth decay or periodontal disease, including cavities and periodontal disease in wisdom teeth and molar teeth. Even if it is cleaned, it may not be clean, and over time, there is a chance of tooth decay, and the gum around will become inflamed and swollen, causing pericoronitis. So we would recommend that you extract your wisdom teeth.

Wisdom Tooth Disease:

Wisdom teeth have a higher chance of tooth decay or periodontal disease because they cannot be cleaned, so we will recommend that you extract your wisdom teeth. In addition, although the probability is low, it may cause various odontogenic tumors, and we will recommend you to extract your wisdom teeth as soon as possible to solve the related problems.

Process

The doctor will decide whether surgical extraction is required according to the condition of the wisdom tooth, such as the distance to the sinus/nerves, the degree of wisdom tooth defect, the number and shape of the roots, the bone density, etc. Generally speaking, due to the high price of surgical tooth removal, we try our best to complete the tooth removal non-surgically, please call us for details.
