Hello.
This is E-Comfort Dental Clinic.
Among those who need to have their wisdom teeth removed,
are there any who are doing it for the first time this time?
Does it hurt a lot..
Where should I get it removed?
What if something goes wrong?
Since it is your first time and you do not know much,
it is natural to worry first.

So today,
while looking at some reference photos we prepared,
we will organize things so that it is easier to understand
what forms wisdom teeth can grow in,
and why extraction is necessary.
We have included content that may be of some help to those preparing for wisdom tooth extraction,
and we hope that through this post,
you can undergo the extraction with a calmer mind rather than vague fear.^^
Wisdom teeth really grow in many different forms.
Many people think,
Aren't wisdom teeth all the same?
but
just as each person's facial features are different,
wisdom teeth also differ in growth direction, position, depth, and more.
So even though they are all wisdom teeth,
some cases can be extracted easily,
while others require more careful planning.
To help with understanding,
we will explain while looking at representative Gayang-dong wisdom tooth reference cases together.^^
Wisdom teeth lying sideways

Date of imaging: 2021.12.13
This is a reference photo to help understand a wisdom tooth lying sideways.
This is one of the most commonly seen types of wisdom teeth.
There may be some of you reading this post who have one like this.
It grows sideways
and pushes against the molar in front.
In such cases..
it may cause cavities in the tooth in front,
inflammation of the gums,
or problems such as food impaction.
It may not look like there is a problem from the outside,
but because it is not easy to manage,
it often causes issues.
A wisdom tooth completely buried

Date of imaging: 2025.02.17
This is a reference photo to help understand a completely impacted wisdom tooth.
As in the reference photo,
it is not visible from the outside,
but is hidden inside the gum.
Although it is not visible from the outside,
it may suddenly swell or become painful,
and in rare cases, a cyst may form,
so regular observation can be important.
Wisdom teeth close to a nerve
Some lower wisdom teeth are located very close to a nerve.

Date of imaging: 2024.08.12
This is a reference photo to help understand a wisdom tooth close to a nerve.
In such cases, a careful approach may be needed.

Date of imaging: 2024.08.12
This is a reference photo to help understand CT images.
After confirming the location of the nerve canal through CT and other imaging like the reference photo above,
a more detailed treatment plan may need to be established before extraction.
So in cases like this,
we can say that the clinician's experience and judgment are important.
Upper wisdom teeth
You may wonder,
Are upper wisdom teeth easier?

Date of imaging: 2024.07.24
This is a reference photo to help understand an upper wisdom tooth.
Of course, compared with lower wisdom teeth,
there are many cases where they are easier,
but depending on root shape, position, and surrounding structures,
the level of difficulty can vary.
So it cannot be said to be easy in every case.
As you have seen so far,
wisdom teeth really come in many forms.
Then..
what is the most important thing?
Even though wisdom teeth come in so many different cases,
the standard is ultimately one thing.
It is how many of these various cases have been experienced.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a treatment that can be done easily almost anywhere.
However,
just because anyone can do it
does not mean anyone can do it well.

The more experience a place has,
the more likely it is to have seen various types of wisdom teeth,
to know different variables,
and to choose the appropriate method for those variables.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a treatment close to a surgical procedure.
Incision of the gums, bone removal if necessary, and tooth sectioning may be required,
and the condition of nearby teeth, nerves, and gums must also be considered.
So rather than anywhere,
we recommend choosing a dental clinic that has a certain level of experience in wisdom tooth extraction.
Wisdom teeth, it is your first time, so you must be very worried, right?

For those having their wisdom teeth removed for the first time,
I think you will probably search a lot for Gayang-dong wisdom tooth clinics
and also look through many reviews.
Rather than getting too scared after seeing various reviews,
if it is properly diagnosed
and performed at a place with abundant experience,
most cases are finished well without problems,
so please do not worry too much.^^
Prepare well,
and I hope you have a safe extraction.
Thank you.^^
