When to extract a wisdom tooth

Wisdom teeth can cause some trouble as sometimes they might not grow properly or at a right angle. If that is the case, then swelling or pain from the area where the wisdom tooth is growing might be felt. If pain persist for a few weeks, it is advisable to check with the dentist if such tooth needs to be extracted. Your dentist would take an X-ray of the tooth area and determine how it is growing. It is often the case that wisdom teeth grow at an incorrect angle and need to be extracted as soon as possible. This is because they may damage the roots of the healthy teeth if left untreated.

Due to wisdom teeth being the last in the jaw, they might cause all your pearly whites to be overcrowded. Removing wisdom teeth is often a good option to relief some pressure on the jaw, especially for the front teeth. Such action might also be required before an orthodontic braces are fitted. Wisdom teeth can sometimes grow in a direction that is different from the rest of your teeth. As a result, this might cause tensions and teeth pushing up against each other. Again, your dentist will be able to assess the situation as this is something hardly visible to a non-expert.

Wisdom teeth are often in the way of other teeth and therefore extracting them is not an easy procedure. It is in fact one of the most serious dental procedures there are. Extractions are done either under local anaesthesia or full sedation. Experienced dental surgeons are best suited for the job although general dentists can also perform a task. For more complicated extractions a team of two dental surgeons along with assistants is needed. Wisdom teeth extractions need to be performed in sterile conditions. Best clinics are well prepared for the task. The surgery room needs to be specifically prepared and some dental practises might even be transformed so they resemble an actual surgical room at a hospital. After the extraction, a swelling will most likely appear. It should disappear after a course of antibiotics.
