Wisdom Teeth Removal

WHAT ARE WISDOM TEETH?

Wisdom teeth are also known as third molar teeth. They are located at the back of the upper and lower jaws and are the last teeth to emerge in the oral cavity. Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom. Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars at the back of the mouth that don’t have enough room to emerge or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in pain, damage to other teeth and other dental problems. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no apparent or immediate problems. But because they’re hard to clean, they may be more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease than other teeth are. Impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain or other dental complications are usually removed.

    WHAT PROBLEMS CAN ARISE DUE TO IMPACTED THIRD MOLAR TEETH?

    WHEN DOES A WISDOM TOOTH REQUIRE REMOVAL?

    It is imperative to seek a dental professional if wisdom teeth cause problems in the oral cavity. Below are some signs and symptoms under which wisdom teeth may require removal from the oral cavity:
    Wisdom teeth may also require removal during the course of orthodontic treatment. Wisdom teeth acquire space in the dental arch thereby making less room for other teeth. Post wisdom teeth removal an orthodontist applies braces to other teeth; which allows proper positioning of the misaligned teeth.

    SYMPTOMS

    Impacted wisdom teeth don’t always cause symptoms. However, when an impacted wisdom tooth becomes infected, damages other teeth or causes other dental problems, you may experience some of these signs or symptoms:

    CAUSES

    An impacted wisdom tooth may partially emerge so that some of the crown is visible (partially impacted), or it may never break through the gums (fully impacted). Whether partially or fully impacted, the tooth may:

    COMPLICATIONS

    Impacted wisdom teeth can cause several problems in the mouth:

    Damage to other teeth

    If the wisdom tooth pushes against the second molar, it may damage the second molar or increase the risk of infection in that area. This pressure can also cause problems with crowding of the other teeth or require orthodontic treatment to straighten other teeth.

    Cysts

    The wisdom tooth develops in a sac within the jawbone. The sac can fill with fluid, forming a cyst that can damage the jawbone, teeth and nerves. Rarely, a tumor — usually noncancerous (benign) — develops. This complication may require removal of tissue and bone.

    Decay

    Partially impacted wisdom teeth appear to be at higher risk of tooth decay (caries) than other teeth. This probably occurs because wisdom teeth are harder to clean and because food and bacteria get easily trapped between the gum and a partially erupted tooth.

    Gum disease

    The difficulty cleaning impacted, partially erupted wisdom teeth increases the risk of developing a painful, inflammatory gum condition called pericoronitis (per-ih-kor-o-NI-tis) in that area.
