We’ve all heard of it before, maybe even experienced its fury: “my wisdom teeth are coming in.” Nowadays, it’s a common trend for young adults to record themselves after getting their wisdom teeth removed. There’s the comic relief post-procedure and sharing the video on Youtube. Until a viewer feels an unfamiliar ache in their mouth and wonders what comes before the laughs, or even after them. Dr. Fredrick Shaw, DDS closely monitors the development of wisdom teeth in our young patients and is committed to preserving their overall oral health. Wisdom teeth that do not have enough space to develop correctly can cause numerous problems in the mouth. Complications include the trapping of food and making an environment for cavities and disease to form, crowding or damaging neighboring teeth, and causing root damage (which is irreversible). As always, it is recommended that you see your dentist for regular checkups so that any issues involving the development of your wisdom teeth can be addressed as soon as possible. You may need to get your wisdom teeth removed if you show signs of: - Pain, aching, or tenderness - Infection - Cysts - Tumors - Damage to surrounding teeth - Gum disease - Tooth decay
