Cyst formation
When a sac near the teeth gets filled with fluid, a cyst is formed. If the cyst is left untreated, it will destroy your bones and their surrounding structure. If the cyst becomes very severe, it will become a tumor that will require other surgery.
Malalignment of the tooth
If the wisdom tooth gets crooked, it can cause shifting and moving of the tooth and may even damage other teeth. There are lots of theories of a wisdom tooth that they tend to grow and shift sideways. It has often been said that our jaws are not large in every case, so that they can accommodate the third molar. Before undergoing orthodontic treatment in Delhi, you should always consider removing the third molar for misalignment.
Sinus Issues
There is a lot of sinus problems with wisdom teeth. The problems are only seen when teeth grow in the upper jaw. When teeth and roots start developing, they can cause sinus pain, pressure, headache, and congestion in some cases.
Cavities
The positioning of wisdom teeth plays a vital role on the occlusal surface of the tooth where bacteria can easily hide. If the gums become irritated, the pockets can develop between the gums causes bacteria to grow and result in infection.
Inflamed Gums
In some cases, the teeth start coming out, which can create a flap of gingival tissue, which causes the accumulation of food particles and bacteria. Tissues near teeth become hard and inflamed, which causes difficulty in cleaning.
Some people live with their wisdom teeth for their entire life, and it is not recommended to remove teeth because of the chances of shifting. If your wisdom tooth is causing the problem, then you should think about getting it removed.
