As a teenager or young adult, you need to stick to your schedule of appointments at the dental office, and for more than just your routine cleanings and examinations. During this period of your life, your last set of molars will come in, and these can pose serious problems to your smile. For many, wisdom teeth can develop in a way that harms their oral health, and your visits with the dentist help you to limit any damage.
At Silk Dental Wellness in Dallas, TX, we employ technologically advanced forms of digital imagery, so that your provider knows where your wisdom teeth lie in your jaw. This process also can show them the stage in their development, and whether they are likely to cause lasting negative changes to your alignment. Sometimes, teenagers have only recently completed treatment using clear aligners from Invisalign® and ClearCorrect®, so it is vital that you do not skip your appointments. Longer time between imagery sessions means a greater chance for trouble, so we are here to help you to be proactive in your care!
Why Do We Have Wisdom Teeth If We Do Not Need Them?
Our last set of molars comes from a time when humans ate raw meat, and since we have moved to a cooked diet, there is less need for that level of jaw strength. Nowadays, they can become a serious problem in the development of your mouth. Since our jaws are slimmer today, many people do not have room for this last set of teeth. This means that when they come in, they can affect your alignment, and sometimes crack your enamel!
Alignment treatment is common in teens and young adults, and so you might have only recently completed treatment with clear aligners or braces. After all that hard work, be sure that you keep yourself safe from the harm of uncontrolled wisdom teeth growth. This preparation begins with your appointments with your dental provider.
How Imagery Helps You Be Proactive In Your Wisdom Teeth Development
One of the most pivotal points in your smile growth is in the formation of your last set of molars, and without proper imagery, neither you nor your dentist know how far along you are in the process. At Silk Dental Wellness, we proudly employ advanced forms of imagery to give you a safer and more comfortable experience in your treatment. Digital x-rays emilt less radiation than traditional methods, and can help your provider to understand when it is time to schedule an extraction.
