Understanding Wisdom Tooth Cavities
A wisdom tooth cavity occurs when decay undermines the third molars. Positioned at the very back of the mouth, these teeth are extremely difficult to reach and clean with normal brushing and flossing.
Common Symptoms
- • Persistent toothache
- • Hot and cold sensitivity
- • Gum swelling & tenderness
- • Jaw stiffness or pain chewing
For severe cavities or impacted wisdom teeth, surgical extraction is generally the safest permanent treatment to protect adjacent molars from decay and infection. Call 770-764-0840.
