Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

The impacted wisdom teeth in many people’s mouths can be a situation that requires attention when they create some problems. However, nowadays, it is quite easy to deal with such situations. Advances in dentistry and technological developments aim to minimize the risks of interventions such as wisdom teeth extraction. Thanks to this, individuals can usually return to their daily routines quickly after the operation. All permanent teeth usually complete their development during childhood; however, molars, also known as wisdom teeth, usually begin to erupt in adulthood. Depending on factors such as jaw structure and tooth size, these teeth may erupt in different ways or the long term. In some cases, wisdom teeth may remain embedded in the surrounding tissues. This situation has many negative effects.
Impacted wisdom teeth negatively affect the jaw structure. It also causes deformities in other teeth and the risk of decay. In addition, wisdom teeth regularly form abscesses (inflammation of the tooth roots and gums), leading to problems such as bad breath, headaches, lymph gland swelling, gum sensitivity, and toothache. When wisdom teeth begin to erupt, individuals need to consult a dentist.
However, in cases where wisdom teeth are impacted, it may not be necessary to extract all the teeth. If the patient’s jaw structure is suitable, the dentist will help the wisdom teeth to erupt more easily by applying different treatment methods. However, wisdom teeth that are not suitable for the jaw structure and pose a risk of decay in the surrounding teeth should be extracted in cases requiring medical intervention. At this point, specialized dentists focus on protecting the dental health of patients by applying the necessary treatments.

How is Impacted Wisdom Teeth Extraction Done?

Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth may be mandatory for individuals with unsuitable jaw structures. Impacted wisdom teeth extraction is not as scary as people usually think. The degree of embeddedness of the tooth and its position in the mouth are effective in determining the treatment methods to be applied. If part of the tooth has come out in the mouth, but most of it is still impacted, it can be extracted without surgery at the discretion of the specialist. Diagnosis and treatment methods for impacted wisdom teeth extraction usually vary according to the individual situation.
