Wisdom Teeth Discomfort in Noosa

It's not always obvious when wisdom teeth need to be removed. But several warning signs may indicate it's time for an evaluation. Knowing what to watch for can help prevent pain and long-term issues.

Below are common indicators that suggest your wisdom teeth might be causing trouble:

1. Ongoing Pain or Pressure

Aching at the back of your jaw or a sharp pain while chewing could mean your wisdom teeth are misaligned or impacted. This discomfort often spreads across nearby areas and worsens over time.

2. Swollen or Red Gums

Redness or puffiness in the gum tissue around wisdom teeth is a typical sign of infection. This may interfere with chewing or oral hygiene. Our team can evaluate the inflammation and offer treatment to relieve the symptoms.

3. Limited Jaw Movement

Struggling to fully open your mouth may indicate that your wisdom teeth are pushing against other teeth or are impacted. We’ll assess your jaw function and recommend solutions to restore comfort and mobility.

4. Bad Breath or Foul Taste

Food and bacteria trapped around partially erupted teeth can cause halitosis and a lingering unpleasant taste. This is not only embarrassing but may also point to infection or decay.
