When you lost your baby teeth at 7-11 years of\nage, you may have thought it would be the last time you would have to go\nthrough the ordeal of having new teeth erupting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, you may have been wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A condition that affects almost everyone between\nthe ages of 15-25 is the eruption of wisdom teeth. Also known as the third\nmolars, these are the last set of teeth to come in and, understandably, can\ncause a bit of discomfort. If you are concerned that your wisdom teeth may be\ncoming through at an odd angle or they are causing you issues when opening your\nmouth, contact our team at Aura Dental<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Aura Dental<\/strong>, we know all about the complications that wisdom teeth can cause and our dentist in St Johns Wood<\/a> will be able to assess the best way to treat your newly erupting teeth. If your mouth can happily accommodate them, we may choose to let them come through naturally and offer you pain relief for the discomfort. If there isn\u2019t enough room or there are secondary issues, we may opt for extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are some of the secondary issues that\nwisdom teeth can cause? Our dentist in St Johns Wood<\/strong>\nprovides the answer to that question below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impaction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most common complication that wisdom\nteeth can cause is an impaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caused by the tooth erupting at a crooked angle,\nthis can create pressure on any surrounding molars, leaving you with a feeling\nof pressure and soreness in your jaw bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If our dentist in St Johns Wood<\/strong>\nnotices that you have an impacted wisdom tooth (usually following an X-Ray), we\nwill opt to extract it to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another common condition associated with wisdom\nteeth is infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some wisdom teeth develop infected roots,\nothers become infected at the site where they have erupted. As there is often a\ngap between the newly cut wisdom tooth and the surrounding gum, this is the\nperfect place for bacteria to become trapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your wisdom tooth is infected, our team will\naim to remove it and treat the infection with antibiotics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wisdom tooth can press against the roots of\nsurrounding molars, causing them to crack and become damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this may not be visible on the surface, our\nteam at Aura Dental<\/strong> will always\nperform an X-Ray when wisdom teeth are emerging, allowing us to assess whether\nthey require extracting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal issues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swelling, gaps and bacteria can all cause gum or\nperiodontal disease and when it comes to wisdom teeth, they are no exception to\nthis general dental rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal issues often occur alongside the\neruption of wisdom teeth and we will aim to resolve these issues before\nattempting to extract the offending tooth or teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth eruption is quite uncomfortable. As\nmentioned earlier, if we determine that you have sufficient space in your mouth\nfor your wisdom teeth to erupt, we will offer you pain relief in the interim.\nSimple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
