Impacted wisdom tooth extraction and its importance
Dental health is an important aspect of our overall health and in some cases, problems can arise, especially with complex structures such as wisdom teeth. Embedded wisdom teeth are teeth that are completely or partially embedded in the jawbone and can cause various problems. In this case, extraction of impacted wisdom teeth through dental surgery is an important treatment option.
What is Impacted wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Impacted wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure performed in cases where there is not enough space in the jawbone or the tooth has grown at an incorrect angle. In this case, the impacted tooth is removed from the jawbone by an intervention performed by a dental surgeon. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and is usually more complex than tooth extraction.
The Importance of Impacted wisdom tooth extraction
Pain and Discomfort Reduction: Impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on the jawbone and other teeth, causing pain, swelling and discomfort. Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth reduces such symptoms and provides relief to the patient.
Preventing Damage to Other Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can cause crowded dentition by misplacing or pushing out other teeth. In this case, if extraction is not performed, it can damage other teeth or lead to the formation of crowded teeth.
Reducing the Risk of Infection: Impacted wisdom teeth are at risk of infection because they are trapped under the gum tissue. These infections can cause symptoms such as severe pain and swelling. Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth reduces the risk of this infection and protects the health of gums.
Preventing Other Health Problems: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to serious health problems such as nerve damage, jawbone damage and cyst formation. Timely extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is important to prevent such complications.
Impacted wisdom teeth are an important condition with potential risks to dental health. Therefore, the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth should be timely and performed in the experienced hands of a dental surgeon.
