Wisdom tooth

The wisdom tooth often referred to as the third molar usually comes at the rear of the mouth in late teenage or early adulthood. While some people never have wisdom teeth, others might have one, two, three, or even four.

Insufficient space for wisdom teeth to erupt from the gums can be problematic and result in pain or infection. In these situations, an oral surgeon might need to remove the wisdom teeth surgically.

What are the uses of wisdom tooth?

Wisdom teeth have no particular use and are not required for speaking or chewing. In many cases, wisdom teeth must be removed because there is not enough room in the mouth. They also cause issues like pain, infection, or crowding of other teeth.

Although, sometimes wisdom teeth can occasionally be used to fill up gaps left by missing teeth. You should consult a dental expert for advice and treatment if you have concerns about your wisdom teeth or are having issues with them.

Hence, it is recommended to consult an oral surgeon and get your wisdom tooth extracted. To request an appointment at Apollo, the best dental clinic in Port Blair, you can contact us at Apollo Dental, Port Blair or Call 1800 1020 288 to book an appointment

Third molars referred to as wisdom teeth, can cause several problems during their removal. The following are some of the most typical complications:

  • Infection: The area where the wisdom teeth were removed is prone to infection. Antibiotics can be used to treat this.
  • Dry socket: When the blood clots formed at the extraction site become dislodged, the bone and nerve endings are exposed, resulting in a dry socket. A painful dry socket can hinder healing.
  • Damage to neighboring teeth: If the teeth are closely spaced, there is a danger of injuring neighboring teeth during the removal of wisdom teeth.
  • Allergic Reactions: An adverse reaction to the anesthetics or other medications used during the wisdom teeth extraction is possible in some cases.

Conclusion

As there is insufficient space in the mouth for wisdom tooth, these teeth might pose issues when they try to erupt. This may result in dental issues like discomfort, swelling, and other issues. Wisdom teeth are referred to as "impacted" when there is not enough space for them to erupt normally. So it becomes essential to get the wisdom tooth removed in case of unbearable trouble.
