Wisdom teeth - Lapointe dental centres

Описание: Wisdom teeth are the third molars situated completely at the back of the mouth. These teeth are not present in everyone’s mouth. Certain people will never have wisdom teeth and others will only have some of them. Often these teeth do not have space to position themselves well enhanced be functional. For this reason, when it is suspected that they will cause problems such as decay, an abscess or a cyst, most dentists do not hesitate to recommend their extraction. Whenever a dentist examines for wisdom teeth, the case must be studied with a panoramic x-ray. This type of x-ray gives us a complete view of the jaws, which allows us to see all the structure surrounding the teeth, thus avoiding complications during surgery. In the case of impacted teeth (that is, the ones not erupted as of yet), we will check if there is a possibility to touch the tooth with a probe. If we detect an entry for bacteria, the risk of infection is higher. Once inside the follicular bag containing the tooth, bacteria multiply and this may bring about the appearance of a lesion such as a cyst or an abscess. This is one reason justifying the extraction. Wisdom teeth can come out in many complex and different positions that complicate the dental arrangement and that of neighbouring tissues. Whatever the case may be, do not hesitate to ask questions that will help you make an enlightened decision.
