Wisdom Teeth Removal in Murrieta

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to erupt, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. While they can serve a purpose if properly aligned and fully erupted, many people experience complications due to insufficient space in the jaw. When wisdom teeth become impacted or misaligned, they can lead to a host of issues, including infections, damage to adjacent teeth, and even cyst formation. Therefore, their removal is often crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing future dental problems.

Impaction

Wisdom teeth can become impacted when they lack adequate space to emerge properly. This misalignment can lead to pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth.

Infection

Pericoronitis is a common infection associated with partially erupted wisdom teeth, leading to inflammation and discomfort in the surrounding gum tissue.

Crowding

Wisdom teeth can shift adjacent teeth, particularly after orthodontic treatment, causing misalignment and necessitating further dental intervention.

Cysts and Tumors

Retained wisdom teeth can occasionally lead to the formation of cysts or tumors, which may require surgical removal.
