Experience Gentle Wisdom Tooth Removal At Smile Delight
Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars that usually emerge during late teens or early adulthood, can often cause discomfort or dental complications due to lack of space in the mouth.
At Smile Delight, we offer top-tier wisdom tooth removal surgery to help you achieve a pain-free, healthier smile. Located in the heart of Kepong, Malaysia, we utilize the latest dental surgery technology to provide quick, affordable, and convenient treatments.
Why do we need to remove wisdom tooth?
Wisdom tooth impaction occurs when a wisdom tooth (third molar) does not fully erupt or emerges at an angle that causes it to become trapped against another tooth, bone, or soft tissue. Here are some key points about wisdom tooth impaction:
-
Types of Impaction: Wisdom teeth can be impacted in different ways:
- Mesial Impaction: The tooth is angled forward, towards the front of the mouth.
- Vertical Impaction: The tooth is angled correctly but doesn't fully erupt through the gum.
- Distal Impaction: The tooth is angled backward, toward the rear of the mouth.
- Horizontal Impaction: The tooth is angled sideways, often into the neighboring molar.
-
Symptoms: Impacted wisdom teeth may not always cause symptoms, but common signs include:
- Pain or tenderness in the back of the mouth or jaw.
- Swelling around the jaw.
- Bad breath or an unpleasant taste due to bacteria trapped around the impacted tooth.
- Difficulty opening the mouth.
-
Complications: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various dental issues, such as:
- Infection: Due to bacteria and food particles trapped around the partially erupted tooth.
- Damage to adjacent teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can push against neighboring teeth, causing damage or misalignment.
- Cysts or tumors: Rarely, fluid-filled sacs (cysts) or tumors can develop around impacted wisdom teeth.
-
Treatment: Treatment options for impacted wisdom teeth depend on the degree of impaction and the presence of symptoms. They include:
- Monitoring: If the impacted tooth is not causing problems and is not likely to in the future, your dentist may recommend periodic monitoring.
- Extraction: Surgical removal of the impacted wisdom tooth is often recommended if it causes pain, infection, or other dental problems. Extraction is typically performed by an oral surgeon under local or general anesthesia.
-
Prevention: Since impacted wisdom teeth can lead to complications, regular dental check-ups and X-rays can help monitor the development and position of wisdom teeth. Early detection of potential problems allows for timely intervention.
If you suspect you have an impacted wisdom tooth or are experiencing symptoms associated with wisdom tooth impaction, it's essential to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon for an evaluation and appropriate treatment recommendations. Early intervention can help prevent complications and maintain oral health.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Process
Remember, wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure that can significantly enhance your oral health. Regular dental check-ups at Smile Delight are essential to maintain your oral health and prevent the need for future extractions.
1. Consultation
The process begins with a consultation and examination by the dentist to determine if extraction is the best course of action. This may involve taking X-rays to get a clear picture of the tooth and surrounding bone.
2. Anesthesia
Before the extraction, the dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure you don't feel any pain during the procedure.
3. Extraction
The dentist will then make a small incision in the gum to expose the tooth and bone. Any bone covering the tooth will be removed, and the tooth will be divided into sections if it makes it easier to remove.
4. Recover
After the surgery, you’ll be given instructions on how to care for the extraction site to promote healing and prevent complications. This usually involves avoiding certain activities, such as smoking and drinking through a straw.
FAQs About Wisdom Tooth Removal
1. Should I Get 2 Or 4 Wisdom Teeth Removed?
The number of wisdom teeth to be removed depends on your specific situation. Some people need only one wisdom tooth removed, while others may need all four removed. Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and recommend the best course of action based on your individual needs and the condition of your wisdom teeth.
2. What Is The Disadvantage Of Removing Widsom Teeth?
As with any surgery, wisdom tooth removal comes with potential risks, including infection, dry socket, damage to nearby teeth, and numbness in the lower lip, tongue, or chin due to nerve damage. However, these risks are relatively low, and our experienced dental professionals at Smile Delight take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
3. Is It Okay To Leave Wisdom Teeth In?
If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, positioned correctly, and can be cleaned as part of daily hygiene practices, it might be okay to leave them in. However, wisdom teeth often cause problems and need to be removed. Regular check-ups and X-rays can help your dentist determine if your wisdom teeth might cause problems in the future.
4. How Long Does Wisdom Teeth Removal Take?
The procedure to remove wisdom teeth typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The length of the surgery will depend on the number of teeth being removed and the complexity of the case.
5. Why Should I Choose Smile Delight For Wisdom Tooth Removal Surgery?
We prioritize patient comfort and safety. Our experienced dental team uses the latest techniques and equipment to ensure a smooth and painless extraction process. We also offer affordable rates and flexible payment plans to make dental care accessible for everyone.
