WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL



 Q) What are wisdom teeth?

A) Wisdom teeth are considered a part of normal human dentition which is last to erupt or what we call third molars.

 

Q) What are impacted wisdom teeth?

A) The wisdom teeth don’t have enough space to emerge or develop normally, which forces them to grow in all possible directions, toward the next tooth or the back of the mouth, or sometimes even stay trapped within the jawbone.

 

Q) Why should I have my wisdom teeth extracted?

A) there is not enough space in the jaw for a third molar to erupt at a right angle, so a number of different dental problems can occur in relation to this condition, such as:

ü  Infection – When the teeth come through the gums only partially due to the insufficient space for an eruption, there is a high chance that inflammation and infection of the soft tissue (pericoronitis) around the third molar will occur. This condition comes in its chronic or acute form, and usually affects people aged between 20 and 40 years old, resulting in severe pain and swelling.

 

ü  Damage – No matter how well you brush and floss, a lot of harmful bacteria and food parts will get stuck in the area around a partially impacted third molar. As a result, the adjacent, second molar could also be affected, increasing the chances of tooth decay and gum disease.

 

ü  Disease – In rarer cases, non-infectious diseases such as cysts and tumors could also form as a result of the impacted tooth. Cysts are fluid-filled pockets inside the jawbone with the potential to cause a great deal of damage to nearby teeth, bones, and nerves. This kind of condition will usually require surgical removal of tissue and bone.

 

ü  Crowding – For a long period, dental experts believed that third molars directly contributed to crowding and overlapping of the teeth in front of the jaw by pushing those right next to them. The theory has since been disproven through years of well-documented research, but there is still a belief among some people that retained wisdom teeth will contribute to the movement of the front teeth.

 

Q) What are the benefits of the removal of wisdom teeth?

ü  Decreased risk of dental caries and gum disease

ü  Avoiding damage to the surrounding teeth

ü  Avoiding unwanted tooth movement

ü  Reduced oral and facial discomfort

ü   less painful process of healing

ü  Improved quality of life

                                            DIGITAL SMILE DESIGNING  A beautiful confident smile is desired by all. Often one wishes to attain that perfect smile but is sceptical to undertake the treatment procedure, for not being able to visualize his or her treatment outcome. But with advancement in digital dentistry, this is now possible with the help of the Digital smile designing (DSD) tool. DSD is a technical tool which is used to design and modify the smile of patients digitally and help them to visualize it beforehand by creating and presenting a digital mock-up of their new smile design before the treatment physically starts. It helps in visual communication and involvement of the patients in their own smile design process, thus ensuring predictable treatment outcome and increasing case acceptance. So DSD is not an invasive procedure. It begins with clic...
