Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Safeguard Your Oral Health
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause complications such as overcrowding, infections, and pain when they emerge improperly. By removing them early, you can prevent more serious dental issues and maintain a healthy smile.
Common Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal:
- Pain and Discomfort
Wisdom teeth can cause persistent pain as they press against surrounding teeth or become infected. - Misalignment or Overcrowding
They can cause your teeth to shift, leading to misalignment or orthodontic issues. - Infections or Cysts
If impacted, wisdom teeth can become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to painful infections or even cysts.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth: A Common Issue
What Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
When wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to emerge properly, they become impacted. This can lead to the tooth growing sideways, becoming trapped under the gum, or partially erupting.
Challenges of Impacted Wisdom Teeth:
01
Infection Risk
Partially erupted teeth can create pockets where bacteria thrive, leading to infections.
02
Damage to Nearby Teeth
Impacted teeth can push against surrounding teeth, causing pain, and alignment problems, and increasing the risk of decay.
03
Cysts or Tumors
In rare cases, impacted teeth can lead to the development of cysts, which can damage the jawbone and nearby teeth.
WISDOM TEETH
Why Timing Matters
Early Removal for a Smoother Process
The removal of wisdom teeth is generally easier when done at a younger age, typically before the root has fully developed. Early intervention can prevent complications such as:
Nerve Damage
Wisdom teeth close to the nerves in the jaw can complicate removal and increase the risk of temporary or permanent numbness.
Longer Recovery
Older patients may experience longer healing times and a higher likelihood of complications.

Recovery: What to Expect After Surgery
Post-Surgery Care
After wisdom teeth removal, it’s normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and minor bleeding. Proper care and following post-operative instructions are essential for a smooth recovery.
Common Recovery Challenges:
01
Dry Socket
One of the most common complications, dry socket occurs when the blood clot protecting the bone and nerves dislodges, causing severe pain.
02
Infection
Although rare, infections can occur. It’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions for oral hygiene and monitor for signs of infection such as fever, increasing pain, or swelling.
