Efficient Wisdom Tooth extraction by Dr. Sirajudeen Medical Center
Teeth play a vital role in our day-to-day life for performing functions like chewing, biting, or making speech. We only grow a pair of sets of teeth in our life, one temporary in the initial stages of life, the other permanent in the later stages of life. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of permanent teeth.
This set of teeth usually emerges between the late teens and early twenties. It is not about when they emerge, it’s about how they emerge. If wisdom teeth erupt smoothly without causing any interruption to other teeth or the gums, you are good. However, if the teeth do not erupt properly, this leads to many complications. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort after a wisdom tooth eruption, medical assistance is crucial. Visit Dr. Sirajudeen Medical Centre for safe and effective dental treatments, we provide advanced surgical wisdom teeth removal solutions.
Consider scheduling a wisdom tooth extraction if:
- There is inadequate room preventing proper eruption of the tooth
- The wisdom tooth exerts pressure on adjacent teeth
- Presence of infection or decay affecting the tooth
- Experiencing discomfort or facial swelling
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure
Consultation and evaluation
The first step of your extraction process begins with a careful evaluation of the condition. Our doctors conduct special scans and x-rays to study the position, anatomy, and surrounding structure to proceed with suitable treatment options.
Incision and tooth dissection
In cases of uncommon position or partially emerged wisdom teeth, our doctors make an incision and access the tooth beneath. The dentist then breaks it into smaller pieces for an easy extraction process.
Extraction and stitching
After incision and dissection, our dentists carefully loosen your wisdom teeth from the gums. The gums are then stitched together to close the gap and facilitate the healing process.
Post-procedure care
At Sirajudeen, we offer patient-centric treatment options. Our dentists closely discuss all the precautionary measures, instructions, and medications to help you recover and ensure immediate assistance in case of future appointments.
Common issues associated with wisdom teeth
Some of the most common wisdom teeth issues that require immediate medical assistance
Impaction
Impaction is a condition in which the teeth don’t fully emerge through the gumline. This can cause pain and lead to swelling and infection.
Crowding or misalignment
Sometimes the wisdom teeth disrupt the existing teeth alignment and erupt in these gaps leading to crowding or misalignment. This can lead to potential orthodontic issues.
Infection and gum diseases
Partially erupted wisdom teeth are very hard to clean, this can lead to decaying if left untreated. It can also lead to red or swollen gums, bleeding, and other gum diseases.
Cysts and tumors
In some cases, wisdom teeth can also form cysts or tumors within the jawbone. It is recommended to schedule regular checkups to monitor.
Is wisdom tooth extraction always required?
Wisdom tooth removal or surgery is not always required, as long as they are not causing any pain or discomfort. However, it is recommended to consult a dentist for more clear instructions. Removal of wisdom teeth depends on their position, depth, and other factors. Some of the important signs to look for include
- Pain behind the molars that keeps worsening over time.
- Redness, swelling, and tenderness that lead to frequent infections.
- Experiencing foul breath and bad taste.
- Jaw pain and stiffness.
