WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION

A wisdom tooth extraction is a dental treatment used to remove your wisdom teeth, or third molars. These teeth typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25, and if there is not enough space, they may result in issues including pain, infection, or harm to neighbouring teeth.

Signs you may need to get your wisdom tooth extracted:

  1. Impaction
    When wisdom teeth lack sufficient space to emerge properly, they may become impacted, leading to pain, swelling, or infection. Impacted teeth can also damage adjacent teeth or jawbone.

  2. Infection or Gum Disease (Pericoronitis)
    Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to gum inflammation and infection. Repeated episodes may necessitate extraction .

  3. Tooth Decay or Damage
    Due to their location, wisdom teeth are challenging to clean, increasing the risk of cavities or gum disease. Untreatable decay in these teeth or adjacent molars may require removal .

  4. Cysts or Tumors
    Rarely, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to the formation of cysts or tumors, potentially causing damage to the jawbone and surrounding structures .

  5. Damage to Adjacent Teeth
    Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can exert pressure on neighboring teeth, leading to crowding, misalignment, or damage .

Procedure:

  • Local anaesthesia: To numb the specific area.

  • Incision: If the tooth hasn't erupted fully, the dentist may make an incision in the gum tissue to access it.

  • Tooth Removal: The tooth may be removed whole or divided into sections for easier removal.

  • Stitches: Stitches may be placed to close the gum edges.
