Oral Surgery San Jacinto CA: Wisdom Teeth, Sedation ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA, Hemet
CA, 92583 CA
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT You are a Dentist in San Jacinto CA. Tell me something. Do wisdom
teeth make a person have more wisdom? ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA This is a joke,
right? San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT More like a wish.
I’ll do anything to be smarter. DENTIST San Jacinto CA Talking to me will make you
smarter. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Nice one.
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Wisdom teeth don’t make you smarter. But knowing about wisdom
teeth will. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Okay, I’ll go with that.
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Wisdom teeth usually appear during somebody’s later teens or
early twenties. They are the last set of molars to come in.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT So they saved the best for last?
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Not always. There’s often a problem with wisdom teeth.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT I knew it. There is such a thing as too much wisdom.
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Actually - the problem is too little space. There often just
isn’t enough room for these teeth. They come in misaligned. They might be angled inwardly
or outwardly. Or lean toward or away from the adjacent set of molars. They can be crowding
the other teeth, and end up damaging those teeth, the jawbone, and even the nerves.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT That’s really nervy of them.
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA If they lean toward the adjacent teeth, they can cause decay since
there isn’t enough room to keep the area clean.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Not good. ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA All of this may
also lead to periodontal disease and also can make your existing teeth crooked.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Really not good. ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Of course, sometimes
the wisdom teeth never fully come out, usually because of inadequate space.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT That’s good, right?
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Not good. This creates a different problem. They stay trapped
in the soft tissue. Teeth partly or fully trapped in this soft tissue or jawbone are
called impacted. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Impacted doesn’t
sound like something I want. ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA I would think
not. For one thing, if partly exposed, it allows for bacteria to enter around the tooth
and cause an infection. Those teeth are also more likely to suffer tooth decay because
they’re harder to keep clean. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT But if you can’t
really see the wisdom teeth - for example they may not be out or fully out - how do
you know there’s a problem? ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Your dentist will
likely take X-rays to make sure you have wisdom teeth, and determine how the alignment is
looking. The dentist might also have you examined by an oral surgeon.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Oral surgeon. I don’t like the sound of that. Sometimes
they take out wisdom teeth, right? ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA It’s actually
fairly common. They might choose to remove the wisdom teeth even before they fully become
a problem. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT Aren’t we getting
a little ahead of ourselves if we remove the wisdom teeth before they become a problem?
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Not really. Wisdom teeth are actually easier to remove when someone
is young, since the teeth roots are not fully formed and the bone isn’t as dense.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT It still sounds a little scary.
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Some people feel scared because the teeth are all the way in
the back. But really most fear about removing wisdom teeth comes from years ago when I admit,
methods to remove teeth were pretty primitive. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT And today -- removing
teeth is not as scary? ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA Dental technology
has advanced tremendously over the years. With modern techniques and anesthetics, along
with sedation therapy, a fully erupted wisdom tooth can be removed as easily as any other
tooth. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT That’s great
news. But if the wisdom tooth isn’t out yet?
ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA It will be a bit more involved. In that case, the tooth may
be removed in small sections. In the hands of a good dentist, removing a wisdom tooth
is not a problem. If you’re still worried, the dentist can offer you some sedation to
deal with the anxiety. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT How fast can someone
be back at work or school after such a surgery?. ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA We usually suggest
the person to take the rest of the day off ,sometimes the next day as well. But with
proper treatment, there is no major down time, or discomfort after the operation
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT So bottom line. Keeping the wisdom tooth doesn’t make me
smarter. ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA No. You are smarter
to remove the wisdom tooth if it is a problem. San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT That was clever
turning of words. ORAL SURGEON San Jacinto CA I do what I can.
San Jacinto DENTAL PATIENT I like to keep my visit to the dentist regular so that I
stay informed about my oral health. If you have not visited your Dentist for a while,
call your local dentist in San Jacinto CA and get your teeth examination. Prevention
is always better and cheaper than cure.
