WISDOM TEETH

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth. This generally occurs between the age of 17-25 years.

 Anthropologists note that the rough diet of early humans resulted in the excessive wear of their teeth. Normal drifting of the teeth to compensate for this wear ensured that the space was available for most wisdom teeth to erupt by adolescence. The modern diet which is much softer doesn’t leave room for the wisdom teeth to erupt, thereby setting the stage for problems when the third molars enter the mouth.

 What is an impacted tooth?

A tooth becomes impacted when there is lack of space in the dental arch and its growth and eruption are prevented by overlying gum, bone or other tooth.

While some people have no issues, many experience problems that require removal of wisdom teeth.

Symptoms

  • Damage to other teeth
  • Red, inflamed gums
  • Facial swelling
  • Pain and sensitivity
  • Pus discharge from gums
  • Difficulty in opening the mouth and swallowing
  • Fever and headaches
  • Food lodgement and difficult to maintain oral hygiene
  • Bad breath

    WHAT IS TOOTH SENSITIVITY

    Tooth sensitivity is the pain you feel when you eat or drink hot or cold food and drinks.

     

    Sensitivity can happen when 

    • Gums pull away from the teeth
    • Gum tissue is lost, occurring as a result of brushing too hard or not brushing and flossing regularly
    • Tooth’s hard surface layer, called enamel gets worn away leading to exposed dentin

    When gum loss occurs, the part of the tooth below the gum line is exposed called as tooth root. There are tiny tunnels that contain fluid and lead from the tooth root to the tooth’s nerve center called as pulp. When hot or cold touches these tunnels, the tooth fluid can excite the nerve, causing pain in your tooth.



    Ways to prevent sensitivity:

    • Brush (soft toothbrush) and floss your teeth twice a day to prevent gum loss
    • Get professional cleaning done to avoid deposition of plaque and calculus
    • Professional check-up for your sensitivity can help to diagnose and resolve the root cause of the problem
