Wisdom teeth often become impacted when there isn’t enough room in the jaw for them to emerge properly, causing them to grow at an angle or remain partially trapped beneath the gums.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, crowding, and other dental issues if they don’t have enough space to emerge properly. At Midwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we offer effective solutions to address impacted wisdom teeth, helping you maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.
Common Struggles with Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to a variety of issues, including swelling, jaw pain, and difficulty opening your mouth. These teeth can also crowd or damage neighboring teeth, potentially leading to infections or cysts. Many patients also experience headaches or discomfort when eating or speaking due to the pressure caused by impacted teeth.
Solutions for Impacted Wisdom Teeth
The most common solution for impacted wisdom teeth is surgical extraction, which can alleviate pain and prevent further complications.
