Removing that uncomfortable tooth!

Wisdom tooth has a long history and has been a part of evolution! To start with, it is the third generation of teeth after milk teeth and permanent ones. During earlier times such as the Stone Age, they were vital and much needed since the food during those times was raw and hard to chew. However, during today’s times, we cook tender and soft food which requires no special efforts to chew. As a result, we are satisfied with the set of teeth we have.

Wisdom teeth can act as a hindrance since first of all, they don’t have enough space to expand and secondly, they can cause immense pain. Often the day you feel your wisdom tooth coming out, you are under a lot of pain. This goes on for several days till you visit a dental clinic or get used to the pain. 

At clinics, an implant dentist can work on your pain by removing the uncomfortable tooth! Since it already causes pain, to top it with the pain of tooth extraction would leave you in an unconscious state. That is why anesthetists administer you a dosage of local anesthesia. This helps in making your gums numb so that you don’t feel any pain whatsoever during tooth extraction.

The costs associated with the same are minimal and not as high as compared to other complicated dental procedures. However, remember that you should not compromise just looking at the cost since a low jab of anesthesia in order to save the cost can cause you unbearable pain!

How can periodontists help you?

As small kids, we were often told by our parents to massage our gums. We usually ignored their advice because we found it boring enough to spend time on massaging the gums. All our concerns were to quickly brush our teeth and go out to play with friends. However, during our teenage and adulthood, we slowly start feeling pain in our jaws at times. Other people develop sensitive jaws that are prone to extremely hot or cold food such as tea and ice creams. Some people even develop gingivitis, which is a gum disease that causes bad breath.

A periodontist is the best person to consult in case of any problems related to the gums. Periodontists are specialists in providing treatment for the gums and complete 4 years of dental college before doing 3 years of advanced studies. Since pain in the gums can erupt any time, they offer emergency treatment. You can also call them an emergency dentist!

The treatment for gums can be quite sensitive and you’re always administered anesthesia by qualified anesthetists. Anesthesia, as we all know, can help in a painless procedure since it makes the entire area numb. 

At times, the gums are in such a degraded condition that they can’t even hold your teeth properly. You are required to remove all your teeth and then get your gums repaired before getting a new set of fake teeth implanted. You can get this procedure done by an implant dentist sydney. They offer a cosmetic surgery which can offer you a set of fake teeth which are as good as new.

However, as times progressed and medicinal sciences advanced, I slowly started seeking treatments from a Cosmetic Dental treatment center in Sydney. 

I had broken several teeth after the tragedy and required treatment for getting new teeth as well as treating sensitive jaws.

Emergency dental services

Breaking teeth is quite common among small kids. Every child passes through several years wherein they break their teeth while falling off the slides or merry go round, or simply colliding while cycling and running! It’s happened to us too during our early days and though common among children, even adults can face it. 

During the earlier days, there weren’t many facilities for treatment during emergency conditions. However, today you can get your dental problems treated by visiting an emergency dental clinic. They are open 24 hours a day and cater to patients who have an unbearable pain at odd hours such as the midst of night or early morning. 

Since a lot of teeth related problems arise late at night, it’s best to have such emergency services. At times, we wake up in the middle of the night with deep pain due to cavity, or we hear the cries of kids who’ve fallen down while playing outside! The problems can range right from getting a cavity or facing a lot of pain due to the wisdom tooth which doesn’t get enough space to expand and as a result, causes a lot of nuisance.

Since they offer treatment during emergency hours, their cost might be a little more as compared to usual dentists. However, cost is not a consideration during emergency.

Concerns of wisdom tooth

The teeth positioned at the rear most part of the jaw are known as the wisdom teeth. A wisdom tooth is also a molar tooth. These are the upper and lower third molars. As the tooth starts to grow at an age of about 17 or higher which can be considered old enough to be able to gain “wisdom”, the tooth came to be known as wisdom tooth and has nothing to do with the actual wisdom of the person.  A healthy wisdom tooth that has grown at the proper position or is growing appropriately does not cause the concerned person any problems.

 The ones that protrude at the incorrect spot are the once that cause pain. These grow up crooked and tend to get infected or become brittle causing a range of problems to the patient. Apart from the pain, this medical condition may even lead to distortion in the appearance of the face. To rectify the problem you must visit the nearest dental clinic and take professional help of experienced dentist.

There are many instances where the wisdom teeth break apart while still inside the gums causing immense pain. This also results in a part of the gum tissue to remain over the emerging tooth leaving small fissures between the tooth and the flap of tissue where particles of food may get trapped leading to various gum infections. Also if these teeth grow crooked or develop facing incorrect directions. In case the jaw does not have enough room to adjust the new teeth, they might not be able to even protrude out of the gum causing serious pain and suffering. The teeth is such conditions are hard to clean as they are at the back of the mouth and too congested too be cleaned. 

If you are facing any of the below symptoms you may be a candidate for the incorrect wisdom teeth growth and should consult a dentist as soon as possible.

• Pain at the position of the new emerging tooth
• Annoyance in the cheek or tongue due to the awkward angle of the new tooth
• Pain due to infection of gum when the tooth breaks before growing out of the gum
• Swarming of the teeth in an inappropriate manner due to less space on the jaw leading to various cases of tooth decay as the cleaning becomes very difficult.

Any dentist will be able to diagnose the conditions using sophisticated equipment and procedures. The dentist usually inspects the tooth using light and mirrors to check for any irregularities. She/he might also recommend an X-Ray report to check the structure of the jaw surrounding the impacted tooth. This gives them a clearer picture of the condition and enables them to provide better diagnosis and also predict any conditions that may not cause any issue now but may become troublesome in the near future. The most traditional practice of remedying such medical conditions is the extraction of the concerned wisdom tooth. The dentists carry out the removal through operation on the jaw after numbing the surrounding area with anesthesia to make the patient comfortable during the operation. The operation is usually painless and results in complete relief. If you face any such condition, visit the nearest dentist to get the best advice.
