wisdom tooth surgery

Why is it recommended to remove it?

Wisdom tooth surgery is necessary when the teeth are causing problems, such as growing crookedly and causing crowding. Partial eruption can cause inflammation and infection around the gums, which can be difficult to clean. Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth are prone to decay, which can also endanger neighboring teeth. If you experience pain, swelling, or other symptoms, surgery can help prevent more serious complications. The goal of the procedure is to maintain oral health and eliminate discomfort.

Prevention is important

Avoidable problems

Wisdom teeth removal is not only justified if they cause pain or other complaints. It is often also worth removing them for preventive purposes, as their difficult-to-clean position can cause tooth decay, gingivitis, or damage to adjacent teeth.

  • Preventing complications: Prevents tooth decay, gingivitis, infections, and cysts that wisdom teeth often cause.

  • Orthodontic effects: Eliminates or prevents crowding, which helps maintain a balanced bite in the long term.

  • Better oral hygiene: Makes it easier to clean the back teeth, reducing the risk of oral diseases.

  • Protection of seventh molars: Removing wisdom teeth can prevent seventh molars from decaying, as they often decay together in the hard-to-clean space between the two teeth.

  • Pain relief: Eliminates jaw, ear, or headache pain caused by wisdom teeth.
  • Preventing inflammation during pregnancy: During pregnancy, previously symptom-free wisdom teeth often become inflamed, which may require medication, which can cause problems for the developing fetus.

HOW TO PREPARE?

Meals: You may eat before surgery, but avoid heavy meals. Medications: Get antibiotics or pain relievers as recommended by your doctor. Home Preparations: Prepare soft foods, have a cooling pad and pain relievers on hand. Leisure: Plan to rest for at least one day after surgery

What does it offer more?

1

Outstanding durability and resistance: Ceramic veneers retain their color and shine for years, and are resistant to discoloration and wear. This provides a longer-term solution compared to, for example, teeth whitening, which must be repeated regularly.

2

Minor structural change: While a crown, for example, covers the entire surface of the tooth, a ceramic veneer is only placed on the front surface of the teeth, which has less impact on the structure and condition of the tooth.

3

Particularly suitable for aesthetic defects: Ceramic veneers are an ideal choice for minor aesthetic problems, such as discoloration, small gaps, or uneven teeth, while crowns are used to restore damaged or more severely decayed teeth.

The procedure for wisdom tooth surgery

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

We will briefly introduce the process of wisdom tooth removal, covering the preparation, tooth extraction, and aftercare. Here you will learn how this procedure helps prevent potential problems and contributes to the long-term health of your oral cavity.

Step 1

Consultation

The dentist or oral surgeon will examine your mouth and take an X-ray to accurately map the position of your wisdom tooth. Based on this, they will decide whether surgery is necessary.

Step 2

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is used to make the procedure painless. In more complex cases, such as when removing multiple teeth, general anesthesia may be an option.

Step 3

Gum and bone preparation

During the surgery, the gum is cut open if the tooth is partially or completely below the gum line. If necessary, some bone is also removed to gain access to the tooth. Vissza

Step 4

Removing the tooth

The doctor will remove the tooth in one piece or in pieces, depending on how difficult it is to access. Impacted teeth are often broken into smaller pieces for easier removal.

Step 5

Wound closure

The wound is then sutured, which helps to heal faster and reduces the risk of infection. Sutures are not always necessary; this depends on the position of the extracted tooth.

Step 6

Postoperative care

The doctor will provide the patient with instructions to help with recovery: ice packs, painkillers and antibiotics, and avoiding physical exertion and certain foods. A follow-up examination may also be necessary.

If it causes pain or inflammation

Wisdom tooth surgery is recommended when the eruption of a tooth is accompanied by pain, swelling, or gingivitis. These symptoms often occur because the tooth does not find enough space in the dentition and puts pressure on the surrounding tissues. Without treatment, this can lead to more serious infections, such as the formation of an abscess. Timely surgery helps to avoid long-term problems and painful complications.

If there is no room for the tooth to erupt

In many cases, wisdom teeth cannot erupt properly due to lack of space, which can cause crowding of existing teeth. This is especially true for patients with narrow jaws, where the wisdom tooth puts pressure on the teeth next to it. Such situations can not only cause aesthetic problems, but can also lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Surgical removal prevents these problems in such cases.

If the tooth is partially erupted

If the wisdom tooth is only partially erupted, food debris can easily accumulate around it, which can lead to infections and poor oral hygiene. Removal is highly recommended for such "partially erupted" teeth, as they are difficult to clean and more prone to decay. Timely intervention also prevents damage to neighboring teeth.

If the tooth grows in the wrong direction

If a wisdom tooth grows in the wrong direction (for example, horizontally or tilted towards other teeth), it can cause significant pressure and pain. Such abnormal positions can even affect the structure of the jaw and result in dental abnormalities. Removal is then inevitable to prevent crowding and long-term complications.
