What is a wisdom tooth? Many people have phobic attitude against wisdom teeth. When it comes removal surgery of wisdom teeth, people tend to exhibit dentophobic attitude. You do not need to be afraid wisdom teeth removal surgery. Impacted or half-impacted, wisdom teeth removal surgery is an easy procedure. Wisdom teeth are the teeth that come through last and furthest back in your mouth. It is also called “third molar”. The timing for their eruption can vary widely from person to person. They can sometimes erupt 17 and sometimes at 50. Wisdom teeth may easily affect people’s daily life due to the pain they cause.

In Which Cases is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Required?

Extraction of wisdom teeth may be necessary in some cases. Among them are caries, gum disease, orthodontic reasons, cyst formation. Let’s find out more about them:

Caries. When the wisdom tooth erupts, it tears the gum. Sometimes it is impacted in the gum again without erupting. Saliva, bacteria and food pieces are stuck at the opening of gum. In such cases, the tooth starts to decay before it erupts. It may also decay directly after it comes out. In such a case, the adjacent teeth are also likely to decay.

Gum Diseases (Pericoronitis)

A partially erupted wisdom tooth may cause infection after breaking the gum and, as a result thereof, accompanying problems such as bad breath, oedema and pain.

Orthodontic Reasons. The eruption of the wisdom tooth can cause other teeth to be crowded and distorted due to the small size of the oral structure. In this case, the wisdom tooth should be extracted in order to prevent deterioration of the tooth structure. Otherwise, an orthodontic treatment with dental braces will be required for the deteriorated teeth.

Cyst Formation. Since the tooth is impacted, it triggers the formation of a dental cyst. Dental cysts are a very serious problem in terms of oral health. The wisdom tooth may need to be extracted to prevent the formation of a dental cyst.

What is the treatment procedure for wisdom teeth?

The wisdom teeth vary according to the intraoral condition of the person. Extraction of normal wisdom teeth can be performed by dentists. However, impacted or half-impacted wisdom teeth must be extracted by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. First, local anaesthesia is administered to the area where the tooth is located. Then, the tooth is removed by cutting the gum and bone tissue. After the tooth is removed, the area is closed with sutures and compressed with gauze.
