It is common to experience pain in the back of the lower dental structure in your 20s. This pain is because of the eruption of a tooth at the end of the lower dental lineage, mostly removed through Calgary wisdom teeth extraction procedures as suggested by the dentists.

What exactly is a wisdom tooth?

This is the last pair of permanent teeth to erupt and develop at the end of the lower dental structure. It is also known as “third molars” that usually gets trapped between gums or jaw bone causing pain and dental issues. Hence wisdom teeth extraction in Calgary is suggested to follow through early.

When does this pair grow?

Usually, wisdom teeth are supposed to start growing at the age of 17-25. As they are at the back of your jaw structure, you might not be able to see them but feel the pain. Also, not everyone has wisdom teeth.

Why do we have one pair growing if not needed?

The experts explain this case as the growth of a vestigial organ, meaning having an organ growing that once served the purpose for human beings but now are not required. 

At the beginning of the human age, ancestors took lots of hard and raw plants, tough structured nuts and meat where wisdom teeth played the role of grinding the food well before forwarding it for digestion. But with further development in cooked food, the need for those teeth is finished. And hence when it starts paining, Calgary wisdom teeth extraction procedures are followed before the roots sets in.

Beginner’s signs of wisdom teeth growing are:

1.Gums swelling and redness behind the last pair of molars.

2.Jaw tenderness and severe constant pain.

3.Facial pain or headaches as the pressure is directly put on the nerves.

4.A little visible white top of the newly growing wisdom teeth is called a white flake.

What might come with wisdom teeth pain?

In case of abnormal growth, many issues might begin in the dental structure behind, which is why wisdom teeth extraction in Calgary is suggested at the beginning stage only. Otherwise, it might welcome the following issues,

Continuous severe pain in the jaw

Cavities in the gums

Infections in the roots or gums

Damage to the adjacent teeth there

What to do in case of normal wisdom teeth growth?

In that case, the usual care is also needed for these teeth, like neat brushing twice a day and flossing correctly. The use of anti-bacterial mouthwash is always suggested.

In concluding note:

Wisdom teeth bring lots of pain with them in most cases, where extraction is needed. This procedure is well explained at Pathways Dental Clinic with the help of the best suitable sedation options.
