Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth often cause problems because they don’t have enough room to grow properly. Common issues include:
Impacted Teeth
The wisdom teeth might not have enough room to erupt completely through the mouth, or they might be hidden by gums or obstructed by another tooth. This may result in discomfort, edema (swelling), difficulty opening the mouth, difficulty in chewing food, and other problems.
Gum Disease
Wisdom teeth are located at the back of your mouth, making them difficult to clean with a toothbrush. This can lead to plaque buildup. The toxins released by plaque can irritate the gums, resulting in gum disease, which may cause swelling, bleeding, and pain.
Cysts
If a wisdom tooth hasn't broken through the gum line, a cyst—a sac packed with fluid—may form around it and can lead to infection.
Jaw Issues
Wisdom teeth can hamper your capacity to open and close your jaw, which may impact the digestion of food.
If you're experiencing discomfort or complications from your wisdom teeth, our experts can assess the situation and recommend home remedies to make you comfortable or, if necessary, removal.
How the Procedure Works
The procedure begins with a consultation, during which our experts will carefully examine your wisdom teeth and take X-rays to assess their position and determine the best approach for removal.
Based on the complexity of the extraction, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the process. The wisdom tooth is then removed using precise techniques. If the tooth is impacted, a small incision in the gum may be necessary to safely extract it.
Once the tooth is removed, stitches may be applied to promote healing, and a gauze will be placed over the extraction site to control bleeding.
