Does a dentist's experience really make a difference when it comes to smooth wisdom tooth removal or spotting oral issues like tooth pain? Could choosing a less experienced dentist increase the chances of complications after surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, a dentist's experience does significantly impact the outcome of wisdom tooth removal and the ability to accurately diagnose and treat oral issues like tooth pain. Choosing a less experienced dentist can increase the chances of complications after surgery, such as nerve damage or infection, and may also delay or lead to an incorrect diagnosis for pain

View allI'm really having a hard time with my wisdom teeth coming in since there's no space for them. It's tearing my skin in the mouth and I've also been dealing with some painful canker sores right next to that tooth for the past few days. My right jaw is a bit swollen, and the pain is just unbearable. I feel feverish with a mild headache. What should I do to get some relief?
It sounds like you're experiencing a painful situation with your wisdom teeth, possibly leading to infection or irritation. I recommend rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to soothe the pain, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, and applying a topical ointment for the canker sores. However, given the swelling, fever, and persistent pain, it's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to assess if theres an infection or need for extraction.

My mouth won't open wide enough for a wisdom tooth extraction does this mean I'll need surgery to get it out? I'm really worried about how they'll do it if I can't open my jaw properly.
If you cannot open your mouth wide enough for a wisdom tooth extraction, it could indicate that jaw surgery is necessary to widen the mouth or reposition the tooth for easier removal.
