Ouch! Here’s When to Worry About Your Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are a bit like surprise guests—sometimes they show up quietly and fit right in, but other times, they cause all kinds of chaos. If you’re feeling discomfort at the back of your mouth or noticing swelling and sensitivity, your wisdom teeth might be trying to tell you something.

At Bloom Dental Wellness in Keswick, we’re here to make the wisdom tooth extraction process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether they’re impacted, causing pain, or just don’t have enough space to come in properly, our team is ready to help.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth (your third molars) typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Not everyone needs them removed, but for many people, they can:

  • Grow in at the wrong angle

  • Become trapped under the gums (impacted)

  • Crowd other teeth and shift your bite

  • Lead to infections, decay, or gum disease

At Bloom, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess your teeth with digital imaging and talk through your symptoms before recommending removal.

If you do need a wisdom tooth extracted, here’s what you can expect:

Recovery & Healing
