Wisdom teeth, also known as third molar, may be blocked out from properly erupting into your mouth, erupting sideways toward your tongue or cheek, partially sticking through the gum, and even remain completely submerged under gum or bone. At All Smiles Dental Procedure, we specialize in the management of wisdom teeth. We do specialist evaluation and surgical removal of wisdom teeth when they are impacted or are unable to break through the gums because there isn't enough room.

Generally, dental and medical professionals agree that wisdom teeth should be surgically removed when there are:
• Bone Destruction
• Tooth Crowding & Destruction
• Bony Impaction
• Infections and/or Periodontal (gum) Disease
• Cavities that can't be Restored
• Cysts, Tumors or other Pathologies
• Damage to Neighboring Teeth

How serious is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth can damage neighboring teeth or become infected. Because it's in an area that's hard to clean, it also can invite bacteria that lead to gum disease. Oral bacteria also can travel through your bloodstream and lead to infections and illnesses that affect your heart, kidneys and other organs. In some cases, a cyst or tumor can form around the base of the impacted tooth, which can lead to more serious problems as it hollows out the jaw and damages surrounding nerves, teeth and other parts of your mouth and face.

Early diagnosis and surgical removal is recommended to avoid future conditions and complications. The pressure from erupting wisdom teeth may move other teeth and interfere with the orthodontic or natural alignment of other teeth. The partial eruption creates a gum “pocket” for food and bacteria to accumulate and cause infection and bone destruction. This may cause symptoms like swelling, trismus (jaw stiffness), pain, and general illness.
