How do I know if my wisdom teeth need removed?
You may need your wisdom teeth removed if you experience pain, swelling, or infection in the back of your mouth, difficulty opening your jaw, or if your teeth are crowding or shifting. Additionally, your dentist may recommend removal if your wisdom teeth are impacted, not erupting properly, or if there is a risk of damage to adjacent teeth. Regular dental check-ups and X-rays help monitor the position and health of your wisdom teeth.

How do I relieve wisdom tooth pain?
To relieve wisdom tooth pain, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek can help reduce swelling and numb the area. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water several times a day can also provide relief by reducing inflammation and cleaning the area. If pain persists, it is important to consult your dentist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is a tooth that has not fully erupted into the mouth due to lack of space or obstruction by other teeth. This can lead to various problems, including pain, infection, damage to neighboring teeth, and cyst formation. Impacted wisdom teeth may be partially visible or completely hidden beneath the gums. Dental X-rays are used to diagnose impacted wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action for treatment, often involving surgical removal.
