Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth that emerge when a person is in their late teens or early twenties. Due to their late development, wisdom teeth can create several issues that warrant their removal. 

Thus, when your wisdom teeth cause issues, a dentist is likely to recommend a wisdom tooth extraction. However, there are signs that indicate it is time for a wisdom tooth extraction. 

Here are four common signs that indicate you need wisdom tooth removal services. 

1. Lack of Enough Space to Develop

If your wisdom teeth develop too late, there is a chance that they will lack enough space to grow. For instance, if your wisdom teeth start developing in your twenties, your jaw may already be full of teeth. Hence, there is no room for the wisdom tooth to grow. 

If you let the wisdom teeth develop despite the lack of space, you could have a crooked wisdom tooth (misalignment) or crowded teeth. As a result, it is advisable to have the wisdom teeth removed.

If you notice that your wisdom teeth don't have enough space on your jaw to develop, seek wisdom tooth removal services. 

2. Severe Pain at the Back of your Mouth

If your wisdom teeth don't erupt properly, they can cause severe pain at the back of your mouth. Pain occurs when the wisdom teeth exert pressure on the adjacent teeth causing them to shift. Sometimes, the pain can spread to your ears and cause severe migraines.

Neglecting the issue weakens your jaw due to the constant shifting of adjacent teeth. As a result, you should schedule a wisdom tooth removal service immediately.

3. Wisdom Teeth Develop Partially

Sometimes, wisdom teeth only erupt partially above the gums. As a result, sections of the wisdom tooth remain below the gums. Such a situation makes it difficult to brush your teeth properly. Furthermore, the wisdom tooth parts covered by gums make ideal hiding spots for germs and bacteria. Hence, you could encounter an infection. 

If your wisdom teeth have refused to fully sprout, don't wait until an infection occurs. Instead, have them removed as a preemptive measure to prevent potential infections. 

4. Sinus Issues

Your upper wisdom teeth are within proximity of your sinuses. As a result, wisdom teeth cause some of the most common sinus issues. For instance, if your wisdom teeth develop too close to your sinuses, they might apply pressure on the sinuses. As a result, you encounter sinus pain. 

If any of your upper wisdom teeth develops an infection, the infection could spread to the nearby sinus. Thus, an infected wisdom tooth can facilitate a sinus infection. 

So, if your wisdom teeth cause sinus issues, you need to have your wisdom teeth removed.
