An impacted wisdom tooth can cause patients to experience discomfort and lots of pain in the surrounding area or their jaw line. You should seek treatment from a dentist as soon as possible if you are experiencing severe pain
This includes the ability to eliminate areas of food trap that often leads to recurrent gum infections (which manifest as episodes of pain or discomfort), prevent decay of the adjacent tooth that lies in front of it, and prevent premature loss of gum or alveolar bone due to chronic gum infection.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Singapore
Before the surgery, our dentist will do a thorough clinical and radiographic examination to determine if you require wisdom tooth surgery. He/She will discuss the procedure with you and inform you of what to expect. The surgery can be performed under local anaesthesia, or if need be, sedation. Our dentist will cut certain parts of the wisdom tooth away before removing the affected area piece by piece. The tissue will then be replaced and held into position using dissolvable stitches.
The wisdom tooth extraction procedure takes approximately 1 hour, with another 30 minutes to come round.
Eating is not recommended for 24 hours prior to the wisdom teeth removal.
The surgery itself is fairly painless as this will be managed using fast acting local anaesthetic agents. Patients often find the noise and vibration associated with bone removal and sectioning of the tooth to be slightly uncomfortable (as sound conduction through bone is more efficient than air). You will also be able to sense some pressure during the delivery of the tooth.
It is common for an impacted wisdom tooth to show no significant symptoms and it is difficult to predict when an impacted tooth may cause problems, which normally happens later in life. Very often, we see the condition of the good tooth in front of an impacted wisdom tooth deteriorate due to the position of the wisdom tooth. If the wisdom tooth is deeply embedded, it may be possible to leave it and review with x-rays regularly. An asymptomatic deeply embedded wisdom tooth may turn into a cyst and will require a more extensive surgery to remove the tooth.
Wisdom teeth are usually non-functional. You will be able to chew as per normal.
