Wisdom tooth Extraction

What are Wisdom teeth?

 Wisdom teeth also known as third molars erupt during the late teens at the back of the upper and lower jaws.

4 key symptoms which suggest the extraction of wisdom teeth

• • Unaligned growth:  If your wisdom teeth are unaligned, they may cause damage to your adjacent teeth. In this case, it is advisable to get them removed.
  • Partial growth: Partial growth of your wisdom teeth will allow bacteria to enter your gum. This calls for wisdom teeth removal.
  • Swelling: Unaligned or partially emerged wisdom teeth can cause swelling of your gum. This can be sorted through wisdom teeth removal.
  • Oral Infection: Partial emergence of wisdom teeth results in unsatisfactory maintenance of oral hygiene. This contributes to infections.

Note: The symptoms may not restrict themselves to the ones mentioned above. Thus, if you experience any other oral discomfort visit the dentist for immediate examination.

Procedure for Wisdom Teeth Extraction

• • Step 1: Dental Exam: The dentist will examine your wisdom teeth to determine if there is a requirement for extraction.
  • Step 2: Process of extraction: An incision is made in your gum tissue to facilitate the removal of the wisdom teeth. The process is administered through anesthesia.
  • Step 3: Placement of Gauze: The extraction site is cleansed and gauze is placed on the same to avoid bleeding.
