There are numerous symptoms when a person is suffering from impacted wisdom teeth and the most common are jaw pain and tenderness in the gum tissue. A visit with Shenandoah Valley Implant Institute should reveal whether an impaction is causing the problem. If that is the case, then those teeth need to be removed immediately to avoid further complications.

  1. Avoid Damage to the Surrounding Teeth

One issue that can arise with an impaction is that a wisdom tooth can push against one of your molars, damaging it or pushing it out of place. Other teeth can move as a result, and if the damage is severe enough, then it may require orthodontics to correct. You will know this is taking place because you will experience a sharp pain toward the back of your mouth.

  1. Reduce Symptoms

Patients who suffer from impacted wisdom teeth often report the same issues. They include, but are not limited to:

  • Constant unpleasant taste in mouth
  • Aching jaw
  • Headaches
  • Chronic halitosis
  • Swollen jaw
  • Bleeding gums

These symptoms also arise with other oral health problems. Therefore, it is paramount to see a periodontist right away to determine what is going on.

  1. Prevent Development of Cysts

Cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that can develop anywhere on the body. When a patient has an impacted wisdom tooth, it can lead to a cyst. This can damage the surrounding nerves, teeth and jawbone. In a vast majority of cases, bone and tissue need to be removed for the cyst to be eliminated.
