Wisdom teeth are the back molars in your mouth and can be more difficult to keep clean. This increases the risk of cavities (caries) and infections, which can lead to pain.
In many cases, removing the wisdom tooth is the best solution. Sometimes a wisdom tooth is removed preventively, for example if it is growing in at an angle or affects the bite. At mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam we can almost always remove wisdom teeth ourselves. In some cases, we refer you to an oral surgeon.
A wisdom tooth can take a long time to fully come through and may stay partially covered by gum tissue. This can lead to inflammation. In these cases, the wisdom tooth is removed, sometimes even preventively to avoid problems.
Because it’s hard to see how a wisdom tooth is coming in, your dentist will often take an X-ray to check its position and determine whether removal is the best option.
Ongoing tooth pain can be very disruptive: it can affect your concentration and make sleeping difficult. Pain may appear suddenly or build up gradually, and it often worsens when eating or drinking hot or cold foods.
It’s important to find the cause of the pain quickly and treat it as soon as possible. If the tooth can still be saved, your dentist can place a white composite filling to stop the pain.
If you have toothache caused by an infection, you can take anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac.
With an excellent rating on Google is mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam among the best-rated dental practices in Rotterdam.
