Although wisdom teeth were once useful for our ancestors, they tend to cause more problems than they do anything else nowadays. So, when you find yourself in pain due to your wisdom teeth, you can rely on Dr. Jeffrey Weaver, Dr. Kelsie Weaver and Dr. Yvonne Woloszczuk at Dr. Jeffrey Weaver Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Aurora, ON (Canada) for wisdom tooth extractions.
Signs You Need a Wisdom Tooth Extraction
There are numerous signs that will let you know you have an impacted wisdom tooth, which means that there is not enough room for the tooth to come in normally.
Pain at the Back of the Mouth
If you have a tooth that is trying to come in and cannot, you are going to experience some pain and discomfort in that area. This pain will be at the back of your mouth. It may come and go, or it may be persistent.
Swollen, Tender Gums
As your wisdom teeth start growing in, they often cause a piece of gum tissue to form on the side or top of the gum. Bacteria and small food particles can become trapped here, leading to the area becoming inflamed and infected. As a result, you will experience swollen, sensitive, red gums.
Earaches or Headaches
Impacted wisdom teeth won’t only result in pain and issues in your mouth. You may also experience discomfort elsewhere when you need wisdom tooth extractions in Aurora, ON (Canada). For example, the pain you experience in your mouth and jaw tends to radiate further, which results in earaches and/or headaches.
Consistent Sinus Problems
There are some instances when wisdom teeth will grow roots in the upper jaw. When this happens, there may be significant pressure placed directly on your sinuses. As a result, you may experience a feeling of pressure, sinus pain, congestion, and sinus headaches.
