Wisdom teeth can often become impacted due to inadequate jaw structure, which can lead to numerous dental and jaw problems. At Dehadent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, our expert oral and maxillofacial surgeons offer comfortable, safe, and successful solutions for impacted tooth extractions.

What are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. However, in many people, these teeth remain partially or completely impacted within the jawbone. This can result in pain, swelling, and infections that negatively impact oral health.

When is Impacted Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Wisdom tooth extraction is recommended if the following conditions are present:

• Severe pain or pressure
• Gum infections (pericoronitis)
• Decay or crowding in adjacent teeth
• Cyst or tumor formation
• Difficulty opening the mouth and jaw pain

Early evaluations allow for extractions that are less painful and provide faster recovery.

How is an Impacted Tooth Extraction Performed?

At Dehadent Clinic, impacted tooth extractions are performed under local anesthesia using advanced technology. When necessary, sedation or general anesthesia options are offered to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the procedure.

Our expert oral surgeons safely remove the tooth from the jawbone with a minor surgical procedure, depending on the location of the tooth. Swelling and tenderness can be expected postoperatively, but these symptoms subside within a few days.

Healing Process and Care

The following points should be kept in mind for rapid recovery after an impacted tooth extraction:

• An ice compress should be applied to the surgical area.
• Hot foods and beverages should be avoided for the first 24 hours.
• Mouthwash should not be used unless directed by a doctor.
• Smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided.

Dehadent dentists continue to support their patients throughout the healing process with regular follow-up and care.
