Gum Disease and Wisdom Teeth: Pericoronitis

6/30/2013

Understanding how the growth of wisdom teeth affects your overall oral hygiene is important in helping u decide if you want them extracted. When the gum tissue around the wisdom tooth gets swollen and infected because of the tooth's inability to fully erupt, the condition is then known as Pericoronitis.

Your partially erupted wisdom tooth will have a flap of gum over it, and that is how food, plaque and debris which irritates the gums get trapped and causes Pericoronitis. This dental disorder creates many problems that could be detrimental to your oral health, and if it's not dealt with during its early stages, it could turn into serious gum diseases that may cause permanent damage to your jaw bone. In more severe cases, a wisdom teeth removal surgery might even be needed to remedy the problem.

When you visit our oral surgeons in Sydney, they will help you better understand your wisdom teeth situation and assess the severity of your condition. But first, here are a couple of signs and symptoms that you should look out for.

Signs & Symptoms

·         Wisdom teeth pain and swelling around the gums

·         A bad taste and smell in your mouth (pus leaking from the gums)

·         Swollen lymph nodes in the neck area right below your jaw

·         Muscle spasms and difficulty opening your mouth

·         Swelling of the cheek next to the infected area

·         Difficulty to properly bite or chew food

In certain cases of Pericoronitis, the patient can also contract a fever and general feeling of malaise when the pain becomes unbearable.

Prevention

You can make an effort to prevent gum disease caused by wisdom teeth eruption by regularly brushing and flossing the area so that food doesn't get stuck beneath the flaps. However, this could be a little tricky since wisdom teeth are hard to reach due to its positioning at the back of the mouth, and the gum that's covering a partially erupted wisdom tooth makes it even harder to access.

Treatment

In milder cases of Pericoronitis, the condition can be treated with antibiotics and possibly pain medication as well.

If the swelling keeps reoccurring, then you should speak to one of our oral surgeons in Sydney about the possibility of removing the flap of gum covering the tooth, or in more drastic cases, depending on the initial test results, we might recommend a wisdom tooth extraction procedure.

Even if the gum is removed, sometimes it grows back and covers the wisdom tooth again. And if this leads to Pericoronitis again, then perhaps you should seriously consider a wisdom teeth removal surgery so that you can prevent this dental disorder from causing further problems in the future that could cost you even more time, money and inconvenience!

 If you are looking for an experienced oral surgeon in Sydney to help you with your wisdom teeth removal, take a trip down to our clinic and get your teeth examined by Dr. Pinho and our team of highly qualified dental surgeons.

The Most Common Wisdom Teeth Question - Why Do We Have Them?

6/30/2013

0 Comments

Have you ever wondered why we've got wisdom teeth in the first place? Why does our body develop something that causes so much discomfort and swelling when it might need to be removed anyway?

Well, if you ever wondered about that, you're certainly not alone. It doesn't matter if you have only one or four third molars growing at the back of your mouth, they could potentially cause you wisdom teeth pain and create oral complications such as tooth decay, gum diseases and crowding. These are some of the main reasons why people choose to go through a wisdom teeth removal procedure.

But where do wisdom teeth come from?

Through years of research and studies conducted by anthropologists, the general consensus amongst the scientific and medical community is that wisdom teeth exist because of the diet of our ancestors who mainly consumed coarse food such as roots, nuts, leaves, meat, and much more.

Unlike our ancestors who needed their wisdom teeth to handle the toughness of natural food, our modern diet consists of processed food which are softer and easier to chew. Modern cutleries also reduce the reliance on these third molars because we can now easily chop or cut up food into small pieces that we can comfortably put into our mouth.

On top of that, human evolution also plays a role in the redundancy of wisdom teeth as our jaws have grown smaller since the Palaeolithic age. Thus, creating less space for our jaw to accommodate the growth of wisdom teeth. And that is the reason why most wisdom tooth never fully erupt, which causes impaction and leads to more serious problems like swelling, bacterial infection, bad breath and decay.

Most biologists view wisdom teeth as vestigial organs, which means they have lost their original function through evolution. Since they aren't needed for the 21st century human being, shouldn't everyone just undertake a wisdom teeth removal surgery?

Well, it really depends on your personal circumstances and how wisdom teeth are affecting your jaw and mouth. Wisdom tooth extraction is certainly needed if there are serious cases where major infections and cysts develop, which could destroy your jawbone and damage the other teeth around it. However, there are also a lot people who get the wisdom teeth removed for aesthetic reasons as well and there is certainly nothing wrong with that choice.

Most importantly, before you decide take up the procedure, it is absolutely vital that you visit our experienced oral surgeon in Sydney so that you can get an initial assessment. After that, our oral surgeons will advise you on the best way to overcome your wisdom teeth problems, with or without extraction.

A wisdom tooth extraction is a very delicate job that can only be handled by the best oral surgeon in Sydney so that you can minimise complications during and after surgery.

Cheap Wisdom Teeth Removal

6/13/2013

3 Comments

 
The word cheap is hardly ever used in the health industry and is considered inappropriate by most. Instead of cheap people prefer the word affordable. At the end what is important is the safety and quality of the dental procedure been offered. Also how well trained and experienced the oral surgeon or dental surgeon is. Dental costs are very high in Sydney and Melbourne and prices for wisdom teeth removal can range from around $200 to $600 in average. You can find surgical cheap wisdom teeth removal as low as $970. If you get a quote you find to high , look for a second opinion on your wisdom tooth extraction.
