Wisdom Tooth Pain Dentists in Malta
Wisdom tooth pain commonly occurs when the third molars partially erupt or become impacted, causing swelling, pain, difficulty opening the mouth, and in some cases infection of the surrounding gum tissue (pericoronitis). A dentist will take X-rays to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth and advise on whether monitoring, treatment of infection, or extraction is the most appropriate course of action. Ignoring wisdom tooth problems can lead to more serious infection and damage to neighbouring teeth.
