Wisdom Teeth Surgery

The reason why impacted wisdom teeth are a problem is that there is no genetic need for these teeth and our jaws are getting smaller. As our jaws get smaller, wisdom teeth have difficulty finding space and therefore cannot come out like other teeth. Wisdom teeth that cannot find space for themselves put pressure on the front tooth, causing crowding. In addition, they can easily become inflamed because they are too far back and the gums around them do not have a normal anatomical structure.

Fully impacted wisdom teeth;

They usually do not cause problems. But they need to be followed with x-rays. Even though they are fully impacted, they can put pressure on the roots of the front tooth.

Partially erupted wisdom teeth;

They are the ones that cause the most problems. Since they cannot come out completely, they try to come out by putting pressure on the front tooth. The piece of gum (hood) on them becomes inflamed over time due to food debris getting in and bacterial growth. As a result of the inflammation of the gum around the tooth; Pain, swelling and abscess occur. They create a suitable environment for decay.

Completely erupted wisdom teeth;

They generally do not cause any problems, but they are difficult to brush because they are too far back. For this reason, it is recommended that they be extracted as a protective measure in patients who do not have very good oral care.
