It’s because they underwent wisdom teeth extraction, mostly likely in their teenage years. In this article, we’ll share the reasons why this is a valuable preventive procedure. Are you or your child experiencing symptoms such as pain and difficulty eating? Then it could very well be their wisdom teeth that are the issue.
Some Background On Wisdom Teeth
Why Wisdom Teeth Can Wreak Havoc On Our Smiles
When our permanent are all in, it doesn’t leave room for wisdom teeth. And because they have no space, this leads to impacted teeth (trapped in the jawbone). They place pressure on nearby molars, causing them to move. Not only do you end up in pain, but your teeth end up out of place. By seeing your dentist in Hamilton, we can use technology and our knowledge to determine if your or your child’s wisdom teeth could pose a problem. We may end up recommending this treatment, especially if it’s likely to prevent future oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, damaged teeth, and cysts.
