The pain associated with wisdom teeth often arises due to issues with their growth and position in the mouth.
One common problem is impaction, which occurs when the wisdom teeth do not have enough room to fully emerge or grow in a normal position. Impacted wisdom teeth can grow at various angles in the jaw, sometimes even horizontally. This can lead to pressure on adjacent teeth, the jawbone, or nerves, causing discomfort or pain.
Another reason for wisdom teeth pain can be due to a condition called pericoronitis, an inflammation that occurs when a wisdom tooth partially erupts through the gums, leaving a flap of gum tissue that can trap food and bacteria, leading to infection. This can cause severe pain, swelling, and even difficulty opening the mouth.
Cavities and decay can also occur more frequently in wisdom teeth because their location at the back of the mouth can make them more difficult to clean properly. The result can be tooth pain or sensitivity.
Lastly, cysts or tumors can sometimes form around impacted wisdom teeth, causing pain and potentially damaging the jawbone or nerves.

The nitrous oxide, administered in a safe and controlled manner, aids in reducing anxiety and enhancing the pain-relieving effects of the anesthesia. Personalized care is at the heart of what we do.
