Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure, yet it often stirs anxiety among patients due to misconceptions about pain and complications. At Dazzle Dental Clinic, we aim to demystify the process, providing a painless, expert-driven experience that addresses your concerns from the first consultation to post-surgical care.
Why Wisdom Tooth Extraction is Necessary
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes these teeth emerge from the gum line and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them, but more often, they fail to emerge in proper alignment or fail to fully emerge through the gum line, which can cause complications such as:
- Impaction: This occurs when the wisdom teeth are prevented from erupting fully. They may grow at an angle, partially emerge, or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone.
- Infection: Partially erupted teeth can leave openings for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause infections, which can lead to pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, and general illness.
- Pressure Pain: Impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on other teeth and disrupt the orthodontic or natural alignment of teeth.
- Cysts and Tumors: More rarely, cysts or tumors can form around the impacted wisdom tooth, potentially leading to damage to the jawbone and healthy teeth.
Identifying the need for extraction typically involves digital X-rays and detailed examination by our expert dentists at Dazzle Dental Clinic.
