Doctor, I’ve been having persistent pain and swelling at the back of my mouth, especially around my wisdom teeth. Sometimes it’s difficult to open my mouth fully and I notice some redness and discomfort in the gums. I’m worried it might get worse or cause other dental issues if left untreated.
Wisdom tooth surgery is usually required when the teeth are impacted, causing pain, swelling or infection, or when they affect neighboring teeth. At Ashford Dental Centre, our dentists carefully evaluate X-rays and oral health to determine if removal is necessary. Surgery helps prevent further complications like gum disease, decay in adjacent teeth and misalignment.
