Why it's done

Impacted wisdom teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth occur when there isn't enough space in the jaw for these third molars to emerge properly. This common dental issue affects millions of people worldwide. Here's a breakdown of the different types of impaction:

Type of Impaction	Description
Vertical	The tooth is aligned correctly but doesn't fully emerge
Mesioangular	The tooth is angled towards the front of the mouth
Distoangular	The tooth is angled towards the back of the mouth
Horizontal	The tooth is lying completely sideways

Problems with impacted wisdom teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various dental complications:

Pain and discomfort
Infection and swelling
Damage to adjacent teeth
Development of cysts or tumors
Periodontal disease
Tooth decay

These issues often necessitate wisdom tooth extraction to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.

Preventing future dental problems

Removing impacted wisdom teeth proactively can prevent several future dental issues:

1. Crowding: Wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment, potentially undoing years of orthodontic work.

2. Difficult hygiene: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are hard to clean,

increasing the risk of decay and gum disease.

3. Jaw problems: Impacted teeth can lead to jaw pain and TMJ disorders.

4. Sinus issues: Upper wisdom teeth can sometimes interfere with sinus function.

By addressing these potential problems early, patients can maintain better oral health and avoid more complex dental procedures in the future. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for monitoring wisdom tooth development and determining the appropriate time for extraction if necessary.
