No one wants a tooth extraction, and at West Gippsland Dental, we explore all other options first. However, if an extraction is necessary for your health, we ensure it is performed safely and comfortably with your best interests in mind.
An impacted wisdom tooth can damage adjacent teeth, causing them to shift and loosen, which can negatively affect overall oral health. This shifting creates gaps where bacteria can thrive, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Misalignment from shifting teeth can lead to bite issues, jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders. Additionally, the pressure from an impacted tooth can cause chronic pain and interfere with daily activities like eating and speaking. In some cases, impaction can lead to cysts or tumors in the jaw. Prompt removal of problematic wisdom teeth can prevent these issues and safeguard dental health, avoiding more complex and costly treatments in the future.
