Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Hyderabad
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars at the back of the mouth. They usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. For most people, these teeth pose no problems, but sometimesthey may cause pain, infection, or other dental complications. At Dr. Gowd’s Dental Clinic, we help evaluate and manage issues with wisdom teeth under professional care.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to erupt. They usually appear in late teens or early twenties when the jaw is already fully grown. They are located at the back of the upper and lower jaws, and their function was once to aid in chewing hard plant materials.
Causes of Wisdom Teeth Problems
- Lack of Space: The modern jaw is smaller than that of our ancestors, often leaving insufficient space for wisdom teeth to fully emerge.
- Impaction: When there isn’t enough space, wisdom teeth may become impacted. This means they are trapped beneath the gum or growing at an improper angle.
- Infection and Decay: Because of the back position, they are difficult to clean properly. Infections, cavities, or gum disease can be the results.
- Crowding of Teeth: Wisdom teeth tend to apply pressure on adjacent teeth so as to erupt, subsequently causing pain and shift in the position of other teeth.
Types of Wisdom Teeth Problems
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: These are teeth that cannot fully come out of the gum line. The impacted teeth may be partially or completely lodged in the jaw and cause pain, swelling, and infection.
- Partially Erupted Wisdom Teeth: Sometimes, wisdom teeth come partially out, and a gap may be left to trap food and bacteria, causing infection.
- Infected Wisdom Teeth: When bacteria infect the gums that support the wisdom teeth, this could lead to swelling, pain, and gum infection.
- Overcrowding: Pushing other teeth can make wisdom teeth potentially causing crowding and misalignment of nearby teeth.
Before and After Wisdom Teeth
Treatments for Wisdom Teeth
- Monitoring: In some instances, wisdom teeth do not create immediate problems and would only need constant monitoring through periodical checkups.
- Extraction: If wisdom teeth cause problems, extraction may be recommended. It is usually done when there is impaction, infection, or overcrowding. The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia; however, the use of sedation is possible in some cases.
- Pain Management: Pain relief may be used to manage symptoms temporarily until treatment is provided.
- Post-Operative Care: After the extraction, our team provides clear instructions for post-operative care, such as how to control pain, avoid infection, and have a soft food diet while recovering.
