Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Elmira, Ontario

You don’t have to wait until there is cause for medical concern!

Wisdom tooth removal is important when necessary. Otherwise, wisdom teeth can cause swelling, gum soreness and eventually, acute pain. Some people never develop wisdom teeth. For others, they may erupt normally – just like your other molars did – and cause no problems. However, in many cases, as wisdom teeth grow in, they become impacted and fail to emerge due to a lack of adequate jaw space. If they do grow, they may end up crowding out your other teeth, affecting your natural dental alignment.

Know your options

Wisdom tooth removal is often suggested when:

  • Wisdom teeth are impacted (meaning they cannot erupt and are trapped in your jawbone or gum).
  • They grow in at the wrong angle due to crowding with your other teeth.
  • There is not enough space in your jaw.
  • Your wisdom teeth have cavities.

Impacted teeth are very difficult to clean and as such, are vulnerable to tooth decay, recurring infections and may even damage the surrounding bone structure. To prevent potential future issues, wisdom tooth removal is sometimes suggested even if the impacted teeth aren’t currently posing a problem.
