Have you been having excruciating jaw pain for the past few days? Each time you attempt to speak it feels like you\u2019ve taken a hard blow to the side of your face, but nothing like that has happened recently. What could be causing your mouth pain? More importantly, how can Northeast Family Dental help resolve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your wisdom teeth may just be starting to erupt. This is a natural process that allows your third set of molars to develop in your mouth. There are a few issues that could take place because of this shift in your smile\u2014some of them painful. Luckily, Northeast Family Dental offers wisdom tooth extractions in Lincoln for patients that severely need it. This may sound like a scary dental procedure, but in reality, our dental professionals only perform dental procedures that relieve pain and ensure a long lasting, healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why is it good<\/em> to remove your wisdom teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the process of your wisdom teeth developing seems like a rite of passage to adulthood, your third molars can cause problems for the rest of your smile. Removing your molars when they cause you pain is definitely necessary, but we also recommend having them extracted because they can cause dental problems in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom teeth cause gum issues.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Impacted wisdom teeth crowd other teeth and cause pain and swelling. Not to mention if they only partially erupt, you could suffer from infections, cysts, accelerated gum disease, or tumors in your jawbone that are catalyzed by deep pockets being filled with dental bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom teeth can damage surrounding teeth.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The deep pockets of dental bacteria that can be formed from partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause big problems not only for your wisdom teeth but your neighboring teeth. These deep pockets of dental bacteria can cause cavities on the roots of your teeth and could require extraction of your neighboring teeth as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom teeth can cause bite misalignments.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes when your third molars develop, they can cause your smile to shift in the wrong ways. You may experience soft tissue injuries due to biting or scraping your cheeks uncontrollably. This could also lead to problems with your TMJ\u2019s (temporomandibular joints), causing further mouth, neck, and head pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom teeth can overcrowd or cause too many spaces in your smile.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a fact that wisdom teeth do move within your jawbone as they attempt to erupt. If they move in the direction of neighboring teeth and cause too much pressure, your other teeth can be negatively affected. In contrast, if a wisdom tooth doesn\u2019t meet their neighboring teeth appropriately, it\u2019s purpose is practically useless. The risks of a spacey smile outweigh the benefits of keeping it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
