Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Hillsboro, OR
 One of the most common dental procedures people go through during their lifetime is the extraction of their wisdom tooth. Your wisdom tooth appears quite late in life and as soon as this tooth begins to grow, there are several problems you begin to face. There is no denying that your wisdom tooth can put a lot of pressure on the adjacent teeth in your mouth, thereby causing discomfort and making it difficult for you to eat your favorite foods. Wisdom teeth often cause a lot of pain and the best thing to do is to extract the teeth as soon as they begin to grow. If you are having trouble with your wisdom tooth and you want them extracted, drop in at Hoffman Dental today so you can learn the various tooth extraction procedures that can help you find relief.
Lesser Crowding And Better Dental Health
The minute your wisdom tooth starts appearing, it puts a lot of pressure on the adjacent molars in your mouth. This often leads to a cluster of teeth that keep coming in in the way of each other. Over time the molars start getting affected and it becomes difficult for you to eat from that side of your mouth. Extracting the wisdom teeth enables your molars to function effectively and it does not overcrowd your mouth.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a simple procedure and it does not cause any discomfort when the procedure is done correctly. Ignoring your wisdom teeth and ignoring the problems that they cause could eventually lead to infections that spread to the other teeth as well. Your wisdom tooth will never grow completely and there is no real purpose for the tooth, which is why it makes more sense to get rid of it.
Protect Your Adjacent Teeth
It is not just wisdom teeth that may need to be extracted. When a tooth doesn't grow in properly, it can become very loose and weak. This invites a lot of bacteria and infections and it makes it a breeding ground for these bacteria to thrive. When you ignore extracting a tooth it can cause the infection to continue to spread. This infection eventually eats its way into the adjacent teeth.
If you do not want to suffer from cavities or tooth decay, it makes sense to get rid of the tooth, if it is beyond the point of repair. If you thought that extraction was painful then there is no need for you to worry because this procedure is simple and you can get rid of the problematic tooth in a single visit.
Decrease The Risk Of Oral Infections And Get Better Dental Health
Apart from the fact that your mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria, infected teeth can cause additional dental cavities that can spread to your gums and cause various types of gum disease. If you want to make sure that these diseases are kept away from your mouth and no inflammation or infection is difficult to treat, you should give Hoffman Dental a call today at (971) 979-3737 to book an appointment for your tooth extraction.
