Signs You Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

Published on June 25th, 2018 by Michael C. Griffin, D.M.D.

Unless you’re lucky, at one point or another, you’re going to need your wisdom teeth removed to make room for the other teeth in your mouth. If you keep them in, wisdom teeth can cause future health problems. Although you might dread your wisdom teeth removal in Wrigleyville, we promise it won’t be as bad as you think! Watch out for these warning signs that it’s time to get your wisdom teeth removed.

Mouth Pain

Aches and pains coming from the back part of your mouth might be a sign your wisdom teeth should be removed. While not all pain is correlated to wisdom teeth, it is always a good idea to schedule an appointment with us, so we can determine the best course of action.

Trouble with Eating

If you can’t enjoy food without feeling pain, this is a sign that you need wisdom teeth removal in Wrigleyville. To make things worse, food pieces could be getting stuck in between your gums and your teeth, making it difficult to get out with brushing and flossing. It is best to get this checked out to see if you are ready for an extraction.

Inflamed Gums

Red, puffy gums are never a good sign. While this problem is not always related to wisdom teeth, it could be a sign that your teeth are beginning to erupt, sometimes creating a flap of gum tissue that can trap food and bacteria. Contact us if you notice this happening.

Once your wisdom teeth are out, you’ll be happy you went through with the procedure! Contact Northalsted Dental Spa if you need a wisdom teeth removal in Wrigleyville.
