Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Lagos
Wisdom tooth removal may be recommended proactively to prevent future complications or as a solution for existing pain, infection, or crowding.
Prevent Future Problems with Safe, Expert Care
Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth can cause a wide range of dental problems if left untreated. Wisdom tooth removal may be recommended proactively to prevent future complications or as a solution for existing pain, infection, or crowding.
You May Need a Wisdom Tooth Extraction If:
- There isn’t enough space in your jaw for the tooth to fully erupt.
- The wisdom tooth is pressing against neighboring teeth and causing discomfort.
- You are experiencing infection, gum swelling, or tooth decay around the area.
- You have pain, facial swelling, or difficulty opening your mouth.
- Wisdom teeth are creating crowding or shifting of your other teeth.
Because wisdom teeth are hard to clean due to their position and partial eruption, they are more likely to develop cavities, gum disease, and periodontal infections. These infections can spread quickly to nearby healthy teeth and compromise your overall oral health. In such cases, wisdom teeth removal is considered the most reliable and long-term solution to protect your smile.
Protecting Your Long-Term Oral Health
Extraction of a compromised tooth isn’t only about stopping pain; it’s about protecting your long-term oral health. By removing a problematic tooth early, you avoid infections, damage to nearby teeth, and other serious complications.
