Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Regular dental cleanings and exams at North Dental Studio keep your smile healthy and prevent oral concerns, including potential issues with wisdom teeth extraction.
When Four's a Crowd
If you’re between the ages of 16-25 years, a discussion about your wisdom teeth should take place. Wisdom teeth, a third set of molars, appear in the very back of each area of your mouth: Upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right. In a few patients, enough space exists for these molars to move into place. But most commonly, they just don’t belong, or they’re not lined up correctly. Wisdom teeth extraction becomes necessary when they cause pain, infection, or other dental issues.
When evaluating wisdom teeth, Dr. Sukhjit Singh considers four general classifications. A panoramic x-ray provides a vital tool for determining the classification of each wisdom tooth.
It’s even possible one patient may display one of each type:
- Erupted: This simply means the tooth moved through the surface of the gums just like your other teeth. Eruption generally doesn’t occur before age 16, but can happen at nearly any age after that. It may have adequate space for its position.
- Soft Tissue Impaction/Partially Erupted: The top of the tooth has emerged from the bone although excessive gum tissue usually covers it. Food trapped in the gum flap can lead to decay and infection.
- Partial Bony Impaction: The majority of the tooth sits below the jawbone level, although it’s beginning to emerge. A large flap of gum lies over this tooth and leaves it prone to infection and decay as mouth bacteria slip into the area.
- Complete Bony Impaction: In this case, the tooth has not broken the surface and remains entirely encased in the bone. While the risk of infection is low, a small percentage of these will form a cyst in the jaw. This hollow space can expand and result in fracture of the jaw.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth: Evaluating the Need for Removal
At North Dental Studio, we provide comprehensive evaluations of wisdom teeth to determine whether they should be removed. Dr. Sukhjit Singh assesses each tooth’s classification, ranging from erupted to complete bony impaction, using panoramic x-rays. With a thorough understanding of the potential risks and complications associated with wisdom teeth, we offer personalized recommendations and discuss sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience for every patient.
