1. Pain and Discomfort: One of the most common indicators of problematic wisdom teeth is persistent pain and discomfort, especially at the back of your mouth. This can be caused by the pressure of the emerging molars against your existing teeth or due to the development of infections. Dr. Denise Gay can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatments to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.
2. Swelling and Redness: Swelling and redness around the back of your mouth and jaw could be indicative of issues with your wisdom teeth. These symptoms may arise from impaction or infections associated with the molars. Our skilled team can conduct a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and provide tailored solutions to address the swelling and restore your oral health.
3. Difficulty Opening Your Mouth: If you’re having trouble opening your mouth fully or are experiencing jaw stiffness, it could be linked to problems with your wisdom teeth. Impacted or misaligned molars may affect the jaw’s range of motion, causing discomfort and difficulty while eating or speaking. Dr. Gay specializes in wisdom teeth evaluations and can recommend effective strategies to improve jaw function and alleviate associated symptoms.
