Q. Doctor, my 26 year old daughter has a couple of wisdom teeth growing out crooked, but there is no problem yet, except slight soreness every few months. My questions are: 1) Would you advise these to be removed at the earliest, or to wait and see if they actually give more trouble? 2) Should all wisdom teeth be removed in any case, whether they give much trouble or not? Thank you for your help.
A. Hi
The current guidelines sugggest that they should only be removed if there are repeated episodes of infection.
I would advise to see a dentist every 6 months for regular check ups. This will also enable the dentist to keep an eye on the situation.

Q. Hi there i have a question for you i have a impacted wisdom tooth its my lower right side my dentist told me i could take it out whenever i want and its not a big deal, well my question is can that wisdom tooth cause my second molar to start raising up and make a couple of my bottom teeth crooked? because that is happening but like i said he said it wasnt a big deal!? can you please help me? thanks
A. Hi
It is very unlikely for the wisdom tooth to cause the crowding, but an examination would be required.
If you are getting repeated infections or it is causing damge to you adjacent tooth then it may require removal. Your dentist would discuss all your options.

A. Book in to see your dentist to make sure they are not infected and are growning through alright. In the meantime make sure you are keeping the area very clean.

Q. I’ve recently had a wisdom tooth and molar next to it extracted. I am eager to proceed with treatment to replace a number of crowns/veneers and would like to know how long I should wait until I can have an impression done to get this work done. The extractions were difficult and I had to take two courses of penicillin but the site appears to be healing well? Thank you
A. Difficult to generalise in this instance but I would not expect problems after a couple of weeks

Q. Hi dr rob…. I am now 27 and had a number of removable braces from the age of 14-16 than a fixed brace from 16 till I was nearly 19. I was really happy with the results, but shortly after having this removed my bottom teeth all crossed over again. I did visit my orthodontist about this but told ne at the time all they could do would be to file each tooth down then put a fixed brace on again. I was concerned about the health of my teeth filing them so did not go ahead. Since I have remained unhappy with my teeth but thought there was nothing that could be done, until I heard recently about invisable braces. I would like to look into this but feel that as the job wasn’t done properly in the first place that to pay for this now would be unfair. My top teeth have now also moved since I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and now I am feeling unhappy with these also. I was also told I would never get any wisdom teeth!! What would be your suggestion for how I go treatment from here?? Kind regards
A.
My first impression is that you are unlikely to get funding for invisible braces. Also all braces need space to move teeth around and so even Clearstep or Invisalign may need “interproximal stripping” ( removing enamel between teeth) to create space. After treatment you will need to wear lifetime retainers.
Hope this helps
Rob

Q. i visited my dentist with painful wisdom teeth back in july. he referred me to hospital specialist. i have been given an appointment on 21 sep.since then i have been suffering with constant severe pain . i have visited dental emergency but still kept on telling i have to wait for my appointment time.surely should i be suffering with this pain for the next three week.please give suggestion
A. It is very difficult to cure the pain without strong painkillers and antibiotics, unfortunately you have to wait for your hospital appointment, you may be able to phone the hospital to see if they can treat you sooner.

Q. I always feel and do biting my inner cheeks and lips. This habit started for the past one month. The wounds disappears soon and i find my lips and inner cheeks dry. Give me some advice.
A. You need to see your dentist it could be that your wisdom teeth are causing this but there may be another reason. Go and see your dentist and explain this to him / her.

Q. i have a wisdom tooth that is cracked and wobbley{loose} what should i do as it keeps catching my right hand side o my mouth. will it come out on its own?
A. It sounds as though your tooth has split and a cusp is wobbling on the gum. You need to see a dentist before you get an infection in the surrounding gum.

Q. Thank you for your swift reply to my enquiry regarding a swelling under my arm after an infected wisdom tooth. You said that the swelling could be related to the infection or I may have a dry socket. I have read a few websites and as I understand it dry sockets occur after the wisdom tooth has been removed – I have not had any surgery to remove my tooth just antibiotics for the infection, so could the swelling still be related?
A. Yes it could – we call it pericoronitits which is infection of the gum over the partially erupted wisdom tooth. This can be very painful and it is not unusual for the patient to have a swollen face from this seemingly minor infection

Q. my questiion is that ,i woke up today and noticed a small tiny gap in the middle of my top front teeth and my jaw droped i hate gaps in the teeth and mostly in the front!! ive asked some friends about it and they said maybe its beacuse i havent had my wisdome teeth takend out im 21 years old and have 4 wisdome teeth .my sister is always telling me not to have them removed cause it will hurt she hasnt removed hers too ! but is it possible thats why i got the gap??
A. If the wisdom teeth get in the way of your bite this may cause your lower jaw to knock your front upper teeth. This could cause a gap to form. The more likely cause is that you have gum disease of your upper teeth and I would urge you to seek an examination with your dentist

A. Very, very unlikely that your face will be affected by this procedure. You may have a slightly swollen face for a week at that.

Q. Hi, Today i got all four of my wisdom teeth removed and i feel fine, my face is normal i just had some bloody issues but it was only for a few hours which is considered to be normal apparently.. However I was wondering if it would be okay to brush, floss and put in a clear retainer on the top teeth and a wire retainer on the bottom teeth.. I got my braces off about 3 years ago and haven’t gone a day without wearing my retainers so maybe thats why i’m paranoid my teeth are going to shift.. i was hoping to wear it tonight but im scared of getting an infection because im pretty sure retainers store some type of bacteria.. basically my question is should i hold off on the retainer for a couple of days or am i capable of wearing it today?
A. Try them in, they should be comfortable, if not then see your dentist before leaving them out for more than a couple of days as the teeth will move, he may need to adjust them so you can carry on wearing them.
