🦷 Impacted Wisdom Tooth Surgery
What is an Impacted Wisdom Tooth?
A wisdom tooth is the last molar at the back of the mouth. When there is not enough space for it to grow properly, it may remain partly or completely trapped beneath the gum or bone. This is called an impacted wisdom tooth.
Types of Impaction
1. Mesioangular impaction – The tooth tilts forward toward the adjacent molar.
2. Vertical impaction – The tooth is upright but does not have enough room to erupt.
3. Horizontal impaction – The tooth is positioned sideways and may press against the neighboring tooth.
4. Distoangular impaction – The tooth tilts backward.
Impacted Wisdom Tooth
When is Wisdom Tooth Surgery Needed?
Surgery may be recommended when an impacted wisdom tooth causes:
- 😣 Repeated pain or swelling
- 🦠 Gum infection around the tooth
- 🪥 Difficulty cleaning the area
- 🦷 Tooth decay
- Bad breath or unpleasant taste
- Damage to the neighboring tooth
- Cyst or other changes around the tooth
- Repeated episodes of infection
How is Wisdom Tooth Surgery Done?
- Dental examination and X-ray – The position of the wisdom tooth and nearby structures are evaluated.
- Local anaesthesia – The area is numbed to keep the procedure comfortable.
- Small gum opening – If necessary, the gum is gently opened to access the tooth.
- Tooth removal – The tooth may be divided into smaller sections when required for safer removal.
- Cleaning and suturing – The area is cleaned and stitches may be placed.
- Recovery – Post-operative instructions are provided to support healing.
Is Impacted Wisdom Tooth Surgery Painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel sharp pain during surgery. Some swelling, soreness, and discomfort are normal after the procedure and generally improve during recovery.
After Surgery
- Follow your dentist’s instructions carefully.
- Eat soft foods initially.
- Avoid smoking and tobacco during healing.
- Avoid vigorous rinsing immediately after surgery.
- Keep the mouth clean as instructed.
- Take prescribed medicines as directed.
- Attend the recommended follow-up appointment.
