Your oral health is affected by a variety of components every single day. Indeed, the food you consume, how often you brush your structures, and virtually everything else in-between has a hand in your overall oral health. What’s more? Care should be given to more than just your teeth and ignoring your gums, tongue, and other components can cause a variety of complications to arise. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist takes a look at how the manner in which your wisdom teeth erupt can also lead to smile complications.

Eruptions, Partial Eruptions, and Embedded Complications

By now, you are likely familiar with the process that accompanies your developing smile. This phenomenon begins when you get your first tooth as a child. Prior to your tenth birthday, you will end up losing all of your baby teeth one by one, and each one is replaced with a permanent adult structure.

Your tooth development does not simply end there, however, and you will eventually face the reality of erupting wisdom teeth. Indeed, your wisdom teeth are the final structures to develop, and most individuals will have four – two on the top and two on the bottom of their mouth. Though these structures can be left alone in some cases, in others, it may make more sense to have them removed.

Your situation is very specific to you, and therefore, your best steps moving forward will depend largely on your situation. If your wisdom teeth erupt normally without complication, you may be able to thrive with them intact. On the other hand, these structures can fail to erupt, causing crowding and infection. Further, they may erupt partially or in a wrong position, leading to even more complications with sensitivity, difficulty eating, and infection overall. To learn more about this process, give our team a call today.

Benefits of Extraction

It goes without saying that nobody wants to lose a natural tooth. Even still, there are specific situations that can occur resulting in a need for removal. Although wisdom teeth do have the potential to develop correctly in a natural manner, many individuals often face difficulty in the process.

Indeed, partial eruptions or incorrect orientation can impact your bite, causing normal activities such as eating to become more of a chore than they have to be. What’s more? You face the potential for major infections to develop. Give our team a call to learn more about the benefits of removing troubling teeth.
