About Wisdom Teeth

The official name of wisdom teeth is third molars. They are the final permanent teeth to grow and usually start appearing when people are between 17 and 25 years old. However, some never have wisdom teeth develop.

The nickname “wisdom teeth” was given to this set of four teeth because they grow after a person is an adult.

Wisdom teeth don’t always cause dental problems. They can grow along with other molars and the person never needs them removed. The American Dental Association recommends that wisdom teeth be removed if they cause damage to other teeth, become infected, or show decay.

Impacted wisdom teeth can result in serious oral infections so they need to be removed. Another reason for wisdom teeth extraction is the patient’s mouth is too small to accommodate them. Wisdom teeth can crowd out other teeth, causing other teeth to become crooked.

It has also been noted that wisdom teeth are linked to an increased risk of infections and periodontal disease. They can be a source of pain due to infections or overcrowding the mouth.

What to Expect in Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Removing a wisdom tooth involves the dentist making an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth. They then remove the bone to get to the root of the tooth. The tooth is removed and the site is cleaned.

The dentist may then stitch the wound to help with healing, although this isn’t always the case. Gauze is placed on the extraction site to stop bleeding.

Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQs

What does Bentway Dental involve when they deal with wisdom tooth extractions?
The procedure typically involves the dentist sectioning the gum to remove the wisdom tooth, resecting a portion of the bone to access the root, extracting the tooth, cleaning the area, and, in many cases, suturing the site. Gauze is then placed to control bleeding and begin the healing process.
When is the removal of wisdom teeth recommended?
According to Bentway Dental, wisdom teeth should be removed when they cause damage to adjacent teeth, become decayed or infected, or are impacted and create a blockage in the mouth.
What issues do impacted wisdom teeth cause?
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to severe oral infections, periodontal disease, and overcrowding, which may cause the surrounding teeth to shift or become damaged.
Do all wisdom teeth require removal?
Not in all cases. Some wisdom teeth grow and align properly with the back molars and do not need to be removed unless they begin causing pain, infection, or other dental issues.
Is there a case when the gum or tissue that is extracted does not need sutures?
In many situations, the extraction site is sutured to aid healing; however, it is not always necessary. The dentist evaluates this on a case-by-case basis depending on the complexity of the extraction.
What is done immediately after extraction?
After the tooth is extracted, the area is thoroughly cleaned, and gauze is placed over the site to control bleeding and promote clot formation as part of the healing process.
