What are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth also known as third molars are the set of teeth in the mouth that develops after the second molars. They completely form at about 19 years of age. As they grow, they try to erupt into the oral cavity. While many people lead healthy lives with these molars, sometimes they are trapped below the gum line and behind the second molars. This happens due to a lack of space in the dental arch to allow them to grow normally. When they fail to erupt or are ‘trapped’ in the bone, they are known as ‘impacted’. The wisdom teeth are vulnerable to partial or full impaction which can cause problems to the other teeth as well as further oral health complications.
Arrow Dental Centre provides wisdom teeth removal to relieve discomfort and maintain your dental health.
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Many Kenyans have at least one impacted wisdom tooth which can cause complications if not treated. The oral and maxillofacial surgeons at Arrow Dental Centre have experience and expertise in removing impacted wisdom teeth.
Impacted molars produce various signs such as headache, cavities, shifting of adjacent teeth, infection, gum bleeding, invading bone, erosion into second molars, and formation of cyst around the wisdom tooth.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Near Me
Due to pain and other conditions caused by impacted wisdom teeth, we recommend removing them surgically. Our dentists use general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to reduce the discomfort while extracting the teeth.
We conduct a full oral examination and take an X-ray to determine the position of the wisdom teeth and identify any existing problems. This evaluation is essential in enhancing the treatment results and reducing the risk of complications during the wisdom teeth extraction procedure.
Aftercare Instructions
Patients should take antibiotics and pain relievers as prescribed to prevent infection and reduce discomfort. We recommend a soft diet and applying a cold press to the sides of the face which helps to minimize swelling and pain. Also, gargling with warm salt water can aid in reducing discomfort.
