WISDOM TEETH

Lack of space means your mouth may not have enough room for more molars. If this is the case, then your molars will force other teeth to shift which can lead to misalignment of your jaw and teeth.

People often experience difficulty cleaning their wisdom teeth properly since they’re located at the very back of the jaw. Therefore wisdom teeth are more likely to decay and collect bacteria than any other tooth.

Dr. Benjamin Polan’s wisdom teeth examination and treatment

Your wisdom teeth can easily be checked during a regular dental appointment. Dentist Dr. Polan will provide an in depth examination of your teeth. If there is an issue, he will order x-rays for further clarification. The x-rays will show what’s happening under your gums, including any deterioration and decay.

If you are currently experiencing pain from your wisdom teeth, schedule an appointment right away. If wisdom teeth are not treated then the problem will only continue to worsen. It’s important to have your wisdom teeth checked so you can prevent future pain, infection, and discomfort.

Wisdom teeth removal is very common, but it can be complicated if your wisdom teeth are severely damaged. Beverly, MA dentist Dr. Benjamin Polan has the experience to know when the right time is to have your wisdom teeth removed, and will refer you to the best possible oral surgeon for the procedure.
