Why Wisdom Teeth Cause Problems
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, usually in the late teens to mid-20s, and there are a few common reasons they run into trouble.
-
Lack of jaw space
Not enough room can push against and damage the second molars.
-
Impaction
Trapped below the gums or within the jawbone, a risk for infection.
-
Eruption angle
Coming in at an angle can pressure nearby teeth and cause shifting.
-
Hard to clean
Their location can make cleaning difficult, leading to decay or gum disease.
When It’s a Dental Emergency
- Unbearable pain. Interferes with eating, sleeping, or daily activities
- Significant swelling. Rapidly increasing swelling in the face or jaw
- Signs of infection. Fever, chills, or difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Trouble opening your mouth. Can signal a serious infection needing prompt attention
- Severe bleeding. Excessive or persistent bleeding around the wisdom teeth

What to Do Before Your Appointment
While you wait
Rinse gently with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help with swelling and pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help in the meantime.
Stick to soft foods that are easy to chew, and avoid applying heat to the area, since it can worsen inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do All Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not always. Some wisdom teeth erupt fully, sit in a good position, and cause no problems. Extraction is usually recommended when they’re impacted, growing at a bad angle, or too difficult to keep clean.
Will I Be Sedated for My Extraction?
Local anesthesia is used to fully numb the area during your procedure. For anxious patients, nitrous oxide (conscious sedation) is also available.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Most patients feel significantly better within a few days, with soft tissue healing over one to two weeks. Following your aftercare instructions closely helps you heal smoothly.
What if My Wisdom Tooth Is Causing an Infection?
Signs like swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth can indicate infection and should be evaluated promptly. Call our office right away rather than waiting.
Does Insurance Cover Wisdom Teeth Extraction?
Coverage varies by plan. Bayside Dental Arts accepts PPO insurance and offers financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon, and LendingClub.
