Understanding Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt. In many cases, these teeth become impacted, meaning they are blocked by other teeth or bone. If left untreated in our Rajkot patients, impacted teeth can lead to severe jaw pain, infection, and damage to neighboring molars.
When is Surgical Removal Necessary?
At Wisdom Complete Dental Care, we recommend evaluation if you experience:
- Persistent Pain: Throttling or dull ache at the back of the jaw.
- Gum Swelling: Redness or inflammation (Pericoronitis) around the erupting tooth.
- Crowding: Wisdom teeth pushing other teeth, ruining orthodontic results.
- Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can damage the jawbone and nerves.
