Maintaining great oral health requires more than daily brushing and flossing—it involves understanding the unique challenges of all your teeth, including your third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. Often overlooked, these molars can significantly impact your oral well-being if not properly managed.
The Role of Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, typically emerging in your late teens or early twenties. In some cases, they erupt without issues and align properly. However, they often become impacted or grow in misaligned, leading to discomfort, infections, or damage to adjacent teeth.
How Transcend Implant Can Help
At Transcend Implant, our oral surgery experts are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating conditions related to wisdom teeth. Using the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques, we perform safe and efficient removals for patients experiencing discomfort or complications caused by impacted or misaligned third molars.
What You Can Do
While professional care is essential, there are proactive steps you can take to monitor and maintain your oral health, particularly when it comes to wisdom teeth:
- Maintain oral hygiene: Brush and floss daily, and use an antibacterial mouthwash to keep the area around your wisdom teeth clean and free from harmful bacteria.
- Schedule regular check-ups: Frequent dental visits help detect early signs of crowding, decay, or misalignment before they escalate into bigger issues.
- Watch for warning signs: Swelling, persistent pain, or the appearance of cysts near the back of your mouth may indicate problematic wisdom teeth. Seek dental advice promptly if you notice these symptoms.
Transcend Implant is committed to promoting lifelong dental health with a patient-focused approach and advanced surgical solutions. If you suspect your wisdom teeth may be causing problems—or you simply want a professional evaluation—our team is here to help guide you through your options with care and clarity.
