Are you experiencing a dull but persistent pain towards the back of your jaw? If so, and if you haven’t had your wisdom teeth out, then they are likely to blame! The wisdom teeth are the most often extracted, and that’s because the average person just doesn’t have enough room for them in their mouth. At New Haven Dental Group, we’re able to perform safe and effective wisdom tooth extractions in-office, saving our patients from having to visit an expensive specialist.
Due to the extremely rough diet of our caveman ancestors, they needed an extra set of molars, and these are called the wisdom teeth. They are usually the last to come in, normally appearing around the late teens or early twenties. As cooking techniques have improved and food has become easier to eat, the human jaw has actually shrunken over time, meaning the wisdom teeth literally don’t fit in most people’s mouths. This leads them to cause all kinds of problems as they struggle to come in, including pain, teeth crowding, and even an infection. Fortunately, our team is able to keep an eye on these teeth during routine exams so we can hopefully remove them before they cause any of these issues.
