Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to appear, often coming in during the late teens or early twenties. For some people, these teeth emerge without problems. For many others, however, wisdom teeth grow in at awkward angles, push against neighboring teeth, or remain trapped beneath the gums. These issues can cause pain, infection, and even long-term damage to your bite.
Having wisdom teeth evaluated early at Alatorre Dental in Las Vegas allows your dentist to recommend removal before problems develop. Taking a proactive approach helps protect your oral health, prevents crowding, and reduces the risk of complications later on.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause trouble without showing clear symptoms at first. Over time, you might notice changes such as:
- Pain or soreness at the back of the mouth
- Jaw stiffness or swelling
- Redness, tenderness, or inflammation of the gums
- Lingering bad breath or unpleasant taste
- Teeth beginning to shift or feel crowded
If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it may be time to have your wisdom teeth checked. Early evaluation makes removal simpler and recovery smoother.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Choosing to remove problematic wisdom teeth can protect your smile for the future. Some of the key benefits include:
- Preventing crowding that shifts nearby teeth
- Reducing the risk of gum infection and tooth decay
- Protecting bone and gum health around molars
- Relieving ongoing pain or pressure in the jaw
For many patients, removal is a preventive step that saves them from bigger dental problems down the road.
