WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL SURGERY

WHY NEED TO REMOVE WISDOM TOOTH?

“Why do wisdom teeth grow crooked?” This is a common question among patients who have experienced misalignment of their wisdom teeth. In reality, the modern human mouth may not always provide sufficient space for the proper development of wisdom teeth. As a result, these teeth can become impacted and grow in abnormal positions, such as at an angle, upside down, horizontally, or even remain buried within the jawbone. Over time, these misaligned wisdom teeth can cause discomfort or pain.

Wisdom teeth can damage adjacent teeth. They’re also difficult to clean, which can result in decay through a build-up of bacteria and plaque.
Other problems triggered by wisdom teeth include:
  • Painful gum inflammation
  • Cysts – fluid-filled sacs in jaw bone, which can damage the teeth, bone, and nerves

Indications that your wisdom teeth may require extraction

Symptoms indicating wisdom teeth removal may be necessary include:
  • Toothache
  • Swelling and pain in the jaw
  • Bleeding gums
  • Swollen gums
  • Bad breath
  • Bad taste in your mouth
  • Difficulty opening your mouth

Processes of Wisdom Tooth Removal

2. Local Anesthesia

Before performing wisdom tooth surgery, dentist will administer anaesthesia to the patient. Initially, the injection of anaesthesia may cause some discomfort, but once the medication takes effect, the patient will no longer experience pain.

4. Recovery

After the procedure, it is crucial to follow proper post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and recovery. It is common to experience minor bleeding from the extraction site, which can be managed by gently biting down on a gauze pad. The dentist may prescribe painkillers, antibiotics, and antiseptic mouthwash to prevent any potential complications.

3. Surgery

The process of extracting a wisdom tooth can vary depending on the treatment plan. In cases where the wisdom tooth is located below the gum line, a small incision may be made. If needed, the tooth may be divided into sections for easier removal. Once the tooth is extracted, the area will be thoroughly sterilized, and the gums will be carefully stitched back together.
