Wisdom tooth extraction

Wisdom teeth are known to cause severe pain when they are removed.

This depends on the depth of impaction,

its relationship with nearby nerves,

and the distance from adjacent teeth,

so the level of pain can vary.

If a wisdom tooth that does not necessarily need to be extracted

is diagnosed as needing extraction,

it can be said to be because it may cause the following problems.

Reason for wisdom tooth extraction

To understand why wisdom teeth need to be extracted,

you first need to know the types of wisdom teeth.

The first is a properly aligned wisdom tooth

that does not need extraction.

A properly aligned wisdom tooth can function like a molar.

The second is a partially impacted wisdom tooth

that is partially covered by the gums.

Partially impacted wisdom teeth increase the risk of cavities and inflammation.

The third is an impacted wisdom tooth

that is completely buried in the gums.

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause odontogenic cysts.

The fourth is a horizontally impacted wisdom tooth

that is buried at an angle in the gums.

Horizontally impacted wisdom teeth cause pain in adjacent teeth.

As you can see, wisdom teeth other than properly aligned ones

can cause various problems such as

cavities, inflammation, odontogenic cysts, and pain,

so if you are diagnosed with the need for wisdom tooth extraction,

it is best to have it removed.

Side effects of wisdom tooth extraction

The deeper the impacted wisdom tooth is,

the more nerves are connected, so extra care is needed during extraction.

Otherwise,

dry socket

severe swelling and bleeding

nerve damage

maxillary sinus perforation

and other side effects may occur.

That is why some dental clinics cannot perform wisdom tooth extraction treatment,

because they do not have equipment

that can identify the nerves.

Side effects of leaving wisdom teeth untreated

There are also side effects that occur when wisdom teeth are left untreated,

and these can also be a reason for wisdom tooth extraction.

The first is a wisdom tooth cyst.

It forms in the tissue that makes the crown part of the wisdom tooth,

and if it grows larger,

there is a risk of nerve paralysis and jawbone fracture.

The second is external resorption of the molar.

As the wisdom tooth attached to the gums and bone

causes resorption of the molar,

it becomes difficult to use the molar.

The third is adhesion of the gum bone.

The periodontal ligament degenerates,

and as a result, the wisdom tooth root and the gum bone adhere to each other,

increasing the risk of wisdom tooth extraction.
