Wisdom Tooth Removal - Necessary for Healthy Gums

The mandibles and maxillary third molars are generally referred to as the wisdom tooth. The Wisdom tooth erupts at late teens or early youth, therefore they are named as the wisdom tooth. Most adults have the whole set of wisdom teeth which amounts to four in number. Lesser number of wisdom teeth is called as hypodontia and more than four means supernumery condition.

It is not aiding any functional activities in the mouth but need their removal due to their constant hindrances in the normal mouth functions.

In Mesioangular impaction, the wisdom tooth is angled forward, towards the front of the mouth. In Vertical impaction, tooth does not erupt fully from the gum line. Distoangular impaction means that tooth is angled backward towards the rear of the mouth and horizontal impaction means that the wisdom tooth is angled at ninety degrees, into the roots of the second molar. Wisdom teeth in any of these stages need extraction essentially.

This is in two cases-one that the dentist recommends due to its interruption with other teeth and other when the tooth may or may not interfere with the normal working in future. The Wisdom tooth is practically useless, so in case the dentist's advices its extraction then it should be done at first instance.

Extraction of wisdom tooth is a normal tooth extraction, where dentist prepares the patient for a small-operation. Some patients need extra care because they have some other problems like diabetes, high or low blood pressure, asthma or any other health problem. In case of diabetes, bleeding does not stop easily, and then a team of surgeon and diabetes expert should be present at the time of the wisdom tooth extraction. A blood pressure monitor and a specialist should be present compulsorily during the extraction process.

This extraction needs post-operation care as well. Patients are advised not to rinse the mouth and place the gauge at the extraction site. The surgeon should be contacted if the bleeding lasts for more than a day. In case the patient is not comfortable with gauze-pad, then tannic acid can also reduce bleeding. A peculiar odor persists for a few days, post-surgery. This will diminish and vanish after a short period of time.

Care should be taken to not consume anything hard or hot as the extraction site remains extra-sensory for quite a few days.
