Wisdom Teeth Woes: Understanding Removal

Wisdom Teeth Woes: Understanding Removal

Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars, often bring more trouble than wisdom as they erupt. Many people require wisdom tooth removal to prevent pain, overcrowding, and other complications. At Vivekananda Dental, we understand the concerns surrounding this procedure, and we're here to provide the information and care you need.

Why Wisdom Teeth Removal is Necessary

1. Impaction:Many wisdom teeth are unable to erupt properly due to lack of space, becoming impacted and potentially leading to infection, pain, or damage to adjacent teeth.
2. Overcrowding:Even partially erupted wisdom teeth can push your other teeth out of alignment, ruining your smile and affecting your bite.
3. Cysts and Decay: Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, making them prone to decay and cyst formation, which can damage the jawbone.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure

1. Consultation & Assessment:: At Vivekananda Dental, we'll perform a thorough examination including X-rays to determine if removal is necessary and develop a plan.
2. Anesthesia & Sedation: We offer various options to ensure your comfort, ranging from local anesthesia to sedation for relaxation.
3. Extraction: Your dentist will skillfully remove the wisdom teeth, using surgical techniques if they are impacted.
4. Recovery:We'll provide detailed instructions for aftercare, including pain management and promoting healing.
