Most people will have issues with their wisdom teeth. However, not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed; some people can have 32 teeth in their jaws without any issues. It all depends on the size of your jaws. Make an appointment at King Street Dental Centre right away if your wisdom teeth are causing you pain or discomfort.

Even when impacted, wisdom teeth may not cause any symptoms. Yet, if the tooth becomes infected or causes other dental issues, such as damaging nearby teeth, you might observe a few of these indicators:
Pain: The most common symptom of wisdom tooth problems is pain. This can range from a dull ache to intense throbbing that radiates throughout the mouth and jaw.
Swelling: When wisdom teeth erupt, they can cause inflammation in the surrounding area which can result in swelling and discomfort.
Impacted Teeth: In some cases, the wisdom teeth may be impacted and cannot fully erupt through the gums. This can cause pain, swelling, and even infection if not treated promptly.
Crowding: When wisdom teeth erupt, they can push other teeth out of alignment resulting in overcrowding and misalignment of your bite.
Bad Breath: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can lead to bad breath due to the build-up of bacteria in the area.
Bleeding Gums: Wisdom teeth can cause bleeding gums and irritation due to the pressure they put on the surrounding tissue.
