Wisdom Teeth Removal - Pristine Dental Clinics

Wisdom teeth removal is a common surgical procedure aimed at extracting the third molars, located at the back of the mouth, which often become problematic due to insufficient space, misalignment, or impaction. These teeth typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and can lead to issues such as crowding, infection, or pain if not properly addressed. The removal process usually involves an oral surgeon or dentist who will assess the position of the wisdom teeth through X-rays, administer local or general anesthesia, and then carefully extract the teeth. Post-operative care includes managing discomfort with prescribed pain relief, following proper oral hygiene practices, and adhering to dietary recommendations to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications.

WHAT ARE WISDOM TEETH?

Wisdom teeth often known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt. One usually gets them in late teens or early twenties. However, even instances of eruption in late adulthood are common. If they erupt smoothly and without any interruption, then they can be proved as an asset. But the problem with third molars is that in case they do not erupt properly or are misaligned, they would need to be extracted. If they are poorly aligned, then they can damage the adjacent teeth.

SHOULD WISDOM TEETH BE REMOVED?

Wisdom teeth may/should be removed in case of any understated problems. Your dentist will be able to help and guide you with diagnosis:

  • Crowding: The adjacent teeth are getting harmed. Because of the misalignment of wisdom teeth if erupts in the wrong angle then it can harm other teeth.
  • Jaw Damage: Wisdom teeth can damage your nerves making the jaw hollow.
  • Sinus Issue: Wisdom teeth can be a reason for sinus pain and congestion.
  • Gum Problem: It will be difficult to clean the area which results in swelling of the tissue.
  • Gaps in Gums: The pocket is created due to swollen gums thus helping in the process of decay

PROCEDURE FOR WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION

The tooth removal process depends upon the stage in which the wisdom teeth is. It is easy to extract a wisdom tooth if it has fully erupted. But if the tooth is impacted then it will require an incision in the gums. Usually, the tooth is extracted in parts to minimize the amount of bone required to be extracted for tooth removal.
