About The Video
In this video, Dr Dustin from Dental Designs Clinic discusses wisdom teeth and the common problems they cause. Because wisdom teeth sit at the very back of the mouth, they’re often hard to clean, which leads to cavities, gum disease, or infections.
Dr Dustin explains why some wisdom teeth grow sideways, remain impacted, or press against neighboring molars, causing repeated pain and swelling. He also highlights why wisdom tooth removal is often recommended at a younger age to prevent future complications.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge, usually in the late teens or early twenties. While not everyone experiences problems, wisdom teeth are often positioned awkwardly or don’t have enough room to grow properly. This can make them difficult to clean, leading to repeated gum infections, tooth decay, or even damage to the adjacent molar.
Impacted wisdom teeth (those trapped under the gums) commonly cause swelling, pain, and recurring infections that come and go over time. Although the discomfort may temporarily subside, the underlying issue remains, making future flare-ups likely. Dentists often recommend early evaluation with X-rays to determine whether wisdom tooth removal is necessary. If you’re experiencing recurring discomfort or want peace of mind, visiting your dentist is the best step to protect your oral health.
