An Introduction to Wisdom Tooth Treatment: Things You Should Know

 

Dental problems are nothing new in the world of oral health, but there is a relatively newer issue that has been creeping up - low gum lines and wisdom teeth.As you age, your gums recede at a much faster rate than when you were younger. This usually occurs early in adulthood, which is why it's called 'wisdom teeth' and for this your need Wisdom Tooth Treatment In Thane. Over the years, this condition has become more common in patients who are in their 20s or 30s.

It is also most prevalent for people who wear braces during their early teen years. When braces come off, it leaves behind a gap between your teeth and gums. This gap is usually filled with food particles, plaque and bacteria. All are factors that can lead to gum recession.Also, the size of an individual's mouth has also been found to be a factor in wisdom teeth formation. Smaller mouths have more space for wisdom teeth which makes removal less complicated. However, if the jaws are too small, it may not make room for all four wisdom teeth and one may become impacted.

Aside from the causes of gum recession, there are also other factors to consider:

1. The age factor - if you're in your early 30s and still no sign of wisdom teeth coming through your gums, chances are it won't ever come through at all. However, that doesn't mean that the condition won't affect you.

2. Location - there are three areas where wisdom teeth can grow through: the top of your mouth, the side of your mouth, and at the back of your jaw. In most cases, this is determined by how far back it goes in your jawbone. If they grow from the top and the side, it is easier to remove them.

3. The direction of growth - most wisdom teeth come through with a curve upwards or outward which is why many patients prefer their extraction down rather than up for an easier time removing them with less pain.

4. Impacted wisdom teeth- this occurs when they grow in at an angle, are facing the wrong way or are unable to emerge through the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth may also cause crowding of other teeth.

5. Risk of cavities - Wisdom teeth that are not properly taken care of can lead to gum infections and tooth decay which may result in root canal treatments.

The good news is unlike other types of oral surgery, Wisdom Tooth Treatment In Thane are relatively simple and can generally be done with local anaesthesia. Many dental clinics now offer the laser option for their procedures which meanwhile reduces bleeding and speeds up recovery time.
