What are the primary reasons we need to have our wisdom teeth extracted? Of course I may not have covered all the options here.

most wisdom teeth are supposed to come through in early adulthood just wondering for those of us who had them out when they caused us problems.

Please note it is very important that you discuss with your dentist any problems you have with your wisdom teeth and get regular check ups. Your dentist will be the best person to advise you on any issues and the most relevant course of action for you and your circumstances. Here are just a few of the common causes of why wisdom teeth may be removed, but you do need to have an individual and expert opinion to know if that is the correct course of action for you.

When you approach 17 years of age, your last set of teeth are due to erupt. These teeth are called third molars or wisdom teeth. Often since the jaw is already formed when they erupt, there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth and they become wedged between the back of your lower jawbone and the tooth in front of them. This is called an impaction.

Yes. Some of the most common reasons are: not feeling well for any reason; cold, sore throat, respiratory infection or flu; dental work (including teeth cleaning) within the last 48 hours; tattoos, body piercing, or acupuncture in the past year. You must be off antibiotics for 48 hours and symptom-free for 24 hours. (You would not be deferred for taking an antibiotic for preventative reasons such as acne). You may not donate if you are pregnant or nursing a newborn.

The amount of discomfort will depend on how easy it was to take the tooth out. There is usually some swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards, and it is important to follow any advice you get about mouthwashes and so on, to help with the healing. Some people also find homeopathic remedies help to reduce discomfort. Usual pain-killers such as paracetamol, aspirin or ibuprofen will usually deal with any pain.

No. It is not necessary that your wisdom teeth be causing you pain or discomfort to participate in one of SCIREX's clinical studies. However, for most studies, it is required that at least one of your bottom wisdom teeth be partially or completely under the gums.

Although no two patients are the same, typically most patients make a full recovery 3-7 days after a wisdom teeth extraction. Please refer to wisdom teeth extraction for more information.

The most common reasons for nail lifting or nail breakage is treating your nails as "tools" instead of "jewels". I am not saying that you must change your lifestyle from being "yourself" to being a woman of "no hands used". What I am saying is this: don't use your nails as a screwdriver, soda can opener, box opener, letter opener or as "pliers" to hold a nail in place while you hammer away.

In many cases, we can place implant at the same visit as the extraction. It depends on the conditions of the tooth, being extracted, and the bone surrounding it. If the conditions allow immediate placement of the implant, it is a great idea of doing it right away

Yes! The CARLSON BIOLOGIC BRIDGETM patented method is the only procedure that allows one to replace a tooth immediately after its removal. (See photos in Dr. Carlson’s essay on “Oral Sepsis.”) This is unheard of in conventional dentistry. Also, the nature of the procedure and materials affords the dentist the latitude of modifying the bridge at any time in the future.

It is the policy of Dr. Massa to help patients retain as much natural enamel as possible. If you have a tooth that is beyond reasonable repair and would not do well with a restoration, Dr. Massa may recommend extraction. Many times, extraction is a necessary when bone-loss is extensive. If extraction is recommended, and a space is left, Dr. Massa may recommend a dental bridge or dental implant to prevent other teeth from shifting, maintain a healthy bite, and enhance your smile. Dr. James W.

The most common causes of tooth loss are dental caries, also known as tooth decay, and periodontal disease, which affects the gums and bone structure that supports the teeth. Dental caries are the major cause of tooth loss in children, and periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults; however, it too can afflict youngsters.

Anemia (low blood count), elevated temperature, pulse or blood pressure, and travel to a malarial area.

Your doctor may order a barium enema to evaluate for diseases of the colon such as ulcers, benign polyps, cancer, or inflammation. It may also be performed as a screening examination for cancer in asymptomatic individuals over the age of 50. The procedure is frequently requested on patients suffering from chronic diarrhea, bloody stools, constipation, or irritable bowel syndrome.

In my practice, the usual reasons are shoulder bursitis, rotator cuff tendinitis and shoulder arthritis.

This has to be assessed individually. Please make an appointment for dental check-up to discuss with the dentist.

Buy me a beer and I'll tell you the entire story (unless you suffer from dentistophobia - in that case, buy me a beer and I promise not to tell you the story ...). For now, let's just say that my jaw was rather attached to that particular wisdom tooth (and still is, as you can see in the picture below ...).
