If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment promptly. Early assessment can prevent serious problems.
Wisdom teeth usually emerge between ages 17 and 25. Problems occur when teeth are impacted (unable to fully erupt), which can lead to:
- Crowding or shifting of adjacent teeth
- Difficulty cleaning, causing decay or gum infection
- Pericoronitis, a painful inflammation of gum tissue around partially erupted teeth
Our dentists monitor wisdom teeth development through regular exams and x-rays. If issues arise, we refer you to our in-house oral and maxillofacial specialist for evaluation and removal if necessary.
- Smoking or vaping
- Poor nutrition
- Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy)
- Misaligned teeth that are hard to clean
- Certain health conditions such as diabetes
- Stress and weakened immune system
Because hardened calculus can’t be removed by brushing alone, professional dental cleaning is essential.
To reduce complications, our Mount Waverley dentists recommend:
- Regular dental check-ups and x-rays to monitor wisdom teeth
- Maintaining excellent oral hygiene, especially at the back of the mouth
- Promptly addressing any pain or swelling around wisdom teeth
If you’re experiencing discomfort from your wisdom teeth, don’t wait. Schedule your wisdom teeth assessment and treatment at Pinewood Dental Group in Mount Waverley today for expert care and peace of mind.
