At The Dental Roots, we do not advise wisdom tooth extraction if they are correctly positioned and do not cause any discomfort. However, if there is impaction or crowding, our dentist may recommend a wisdom tooth extraction. Tooth Extraction Surgery is mostly a single sitting session carried out under local anesthesia to ensure painless treatment.
What Causes an Impacted Wisdom Tooth?
Mostly, wisdom teeth become impacted because it is the last tooth to enter the oral cavity and by then your jaw doesn't have enough space for it to emerge. Sometimes, partial impaction is seen when the tooth grows in the wrong direction.
What are the Symptoms?
- Pain or swelling around the jaw
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- An unpleasant taste in your mouth
- Problems opening your mouth
How are Impacted Wisdom Teeth Treated?
If your impacted wisdom teeth cause symptoms or dental problems, your dentist may suggest a surgical extraction which is usually an outpatient procedure. Your doctor may use anaesthetic drugs to induce a type of anaesthesia, such as:
- Local anaesthesia to numb your mouth
- Sedation anaesthesia relaxes you and blocks pain
- General anaesthesia to make you sleep and not feel anything during the procedure
The entire surgery usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Sometimes the procedure may take longer if the tooth is completely impacted and buried within your gums or jawbone.
