Wisdom teeth officially referred to as third molars, are usually the last teeth to develop. They are upper and lower teeth located in the very back of your mouth, next to your second (or twelve year) molars and near the entrance to your throat. They usually complete development between the ages of 15 and 20, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom. |

There are several types of impactions : Soft Tissue Impactions : There is adequate jawbone to allow the wisdom tooth to erupt but NOT enough room to allow the gum tissue to recede to allow adequate cleaning of the tooth. Partial Bony Impactions : There is enough space to allow the Wisdom tooth to partially erupt. It cannot function in the chewing process and creates cleaning problems. Complete Bony Impactions : There is NO space for the tooth to erupt. It remains totally below the jawbone or if even partially visible requires complex removal techniques. Unusually Difficult Complete Bony Impactions : The impacted wisdom tooth is in an unusual and difficult to remove position. This situation can also arise when the shape of the jawbone and other facial structures make removal of this tooth significantly more difficult. |

Crowding - Although controversial, many feel
that impacted wisdom teeth directly contribute to crowding of your teeth which is
most noticeable in the front teeth, usually the lower front teeth. This is most
commonly seen after a patient has had braces. There are most likely a number of
factors that cause teeth to crowd after braces or in early adulthood and retained,
impacted wisdom teeth are likely to play a contributory role. Although wisdom tooth
removal cannot be recommended solely to avoid crowding, it can be recommended to
absolutely eliminate if possible role in future crowding and other bite changes.
It is very important to remove these wisdom teeth at the right time before any complication like pain swelling, inability to open jaw etc arise…At dentocare, we first start off with taking proper diagnostic x-rays and opg. If required we cover the patient with a suitable antibiotic cover. We have a specialized oral surgeon who excels in these types of surgeries who removes your tooth. Proper post operative care is advised to the patient with a strict followup protocol. So removing such teeth is no longer a herculean task... WITH DENTOCARE AND ITS EXCELLENT TEAM OF SURGEONS YOU CAN RELAX EVEN FOR A SURGICAL PROCEDURE. |
