What Causes an Impacted Wisdom Tooth?

Mostly, wisdom teeth become impacted because it is the last tooth to enter the oral cavity and by then your jaw doesn’t have enough space for it to emerge. Sometimes, partial impaction is seen when the tooth grows in the wrong direction.

How is an Impacted Wisdom Tooth Diagnosed?

We have an in-house OPG and CT scan machine with which X-ray images are taken and a thorough examination of your mouth is done before making a treatment plan. An X-ray shows whether your teeth are impacted and if it has damaged other teeth and bone. If your teeth are impacted, our dentist is going to discuss with you the benefits and risks of surgical extraction.

What are the Symptoms?

Impacted teeth won’t cause any problems for some patients, while others might show obvious symptoms. Keeping a partially impacted wisdom tooth clean is difficult, they can also cause food to become trapped which can lead to tooth decay. For some people, a partially impacted tooth is very painful. If the tooth becomes infected or causes other issues, you may have symptoms such as:

Pain or swelling around the jaw
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Bad breath
An unpleasant taste in your mouth
Problems opening your mouth

In other cases, the affected tooth may never break through the gums. This is known as a fully impacted wisdom tooth.

How are Impacted Wisdom Teeth Treated?

If your impacted wisdom teeth cause symptoms or dental problems, your dentist may suggest a surgical extraction which is usually an outpatient procedure. You can go home the same day. As part of the procedure, your doctor may use anaesthetic drugs to induce a type of anaesthesia, such as:

Local anaesthesia to numb your mouth
Sedation anaesthesia relaxes you and blocks pain
General anaesthesia to make you sleep and not feel anything during the procedure

The entire surgery usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Sometimes the procedure may take longer time if the tooth is completely impacted and buried within your gums or jawbone. Occasionally after the procedure, a suture is placed that helps in healing. An ice pack is been provided by the clinic to decrease the post-extraction swelling.

Recovering from Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Most people can get back to their normal activities a few days after surgery. It takes up to six weeks for your mouth to completely heal. For about 4 to 5 days, soft food will be suggested by the dentist.

After surgery, you may experience some pain, bleeding, and swelling. Your doctor will give you specific instructions for managing discomfort, such as taking pain medications and using cold compresses.

Although rare, you may develop a painful dry socket. This happens when the blood clot that’s supposed to form after surgery doesn’t form properly or becomes dislodged from the socket and exposes bone. In such cases, you are advised to visit your dentist as soon as possible.

Questions To Ask Your Doctor

Will I feel pain during the procedure?

No, depending on the complexity of the extraction different aesthetic options can be administered during the procedure which will minimize the pain and discomfort during the extraction.

Can I eat and drink immediately following an extraction?

After your tooth is removed, well ask you to stick to soft foods and liquids for about a day. Avoid chewy, crunchy, sharp, and sticky foods until youre fully healed.

Do all wisdom teeth have to be removed?

No, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed – its very subjective and based on the dental situation of each individual patient. Typically, wisdom teeth do NOT need to be removed if theyre healthy, have fully erupted, are positioned correctly and bite properly with the opposing teeth, and are able to be properly cleaned and flossed in a patients daily hygiene practices.

How long does it take to recover from surgery?

The average recovery time is about 3 days (though it may be longer) and swelling, soreness, and discomfort are likely side effects. Your mouth may need a few weeks to heal completely after surgery.

How much will it cost to get my wisdom teeth removed?

Every case varies because the treatment is dependent on the position and complexity of each tooth. For more information on wisdom teeth costs, please contact our front desk.

What are dry sockets?

A blood clot forms in that area to protect the bone and nerves underneath. If that clot becomes dislodged or aggravated, it will cause the bone and nerve to be exposed to air, fluids and food, causing an infection – or a dry socket.Dry socket can happen three to four days after your wisdom teeth are pulled. It causes pain and bad breath. It is important to flush the area and discuss any symptoms with your dentists in New Delhi and Gurgaon.

Do you still need them removed if they don not hurt?

Not necessarily. Symptoms might not be seen, but they can always become a focus of infection.

Do you offer emergency visits?

If a problematic tooth is causing you pain, contact us right away. We do offer emergency care, including same-day extractions.
