Most people ignore wisdom tooth pain assuming that it will resolve on its own once the tooth grows in the mouth. But this ignorance of repeated pain can actually worsen the situation. If the impacted wisdom teeth are not removed, they can cause:
• Severe pain and swelling (Pericoronitis).
• Difficulty in eating and mouth opening(Trismus).
• They could damage the adjacent teeth.
• Gum disease and tooth decay.
• Cause a cyst to develop
• The increased pressure caused by the wisdom teeth may result in the numbness of your jaw and face.
• When the wisdom teeth do not have space to grow properly in the mouth. It leads to infections, irritation, and overcrowding of the other teeth. This could eventually lead to the need for braces or gum treatments.
