How do I know if my wisdom teeth need removed?
ou may need your wisdom teeth removed if you experience pain, swelling, or infection in the back of your mouth, or if your dentist notices signs of overcrowding, impaction, or potential damage to adjacent teeth during an examination or X-ray. Regular dental check-ups can help determine if wisdom teeth extraction is necessary to maintain your oral health.

How do I relieve wisdom tooth pain?
To relieve wisdom tooth pain, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Applying a cold compress to the affected area can help reduce swelling and numb the pain. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can also provide relief and help prevent infection. If the pain persists, it is important to visit your dentist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is a tooth that fails to fully erupt into the mouth due to a lack of space or improper alignment. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and potential damage to adjacent teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth often require removal to prevent these complications and maintain overall oral health.
