When is Wisdom Teeth Removal Required?
– Impacted Wisdom Teeth: If they don’t have enough space to emerge properly, they can get stuck in the gums or jawbone.
– Pain & Discomfort: Persistent pain, swelling, or tenderness in the back of the mouth.
– Crowding: Wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, causing misalignment.
– Infection & Gum Disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to infection or gum disease.
– Cysts & Damage to Nearby Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can form cysts, damaging nearby teeth, nerves, or the jawbone.
Procedure for Wisdom Teeth Removal
The removal process is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon and follows these steps:
- 1. Examination & X-rays: The dentist evaluates the position of the wisdom teeth using X-rays.
2. Anesthesia Administration: Local, sedation, or general anesthesia is used to ensure a painless procedure.
3. Tooth Extraction:
– If the tooth is fully erupted , it is removed like a regular tooth.
– If impacted , the dentist makes an incision in the gum and may remove the tooth in sections for easier extraction.
4. Stitching & Recovery: Stitches may be placed to promote healing, and gauze is applied to control bleeding.
