Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to erupt in our body.they come out at the age of 17-25. Sometimes these teeth do not erupt completely/ do not erupt at all. In such cases, they can damage the adjacent teeth or cause inflammation of the gums surrounding it.
When the wisdom tooth causes symptoms like pain, difficulty to open your mouth,bad breath , then it needs to be removed.
Treatment:
Asymptomatic wisdom teeth that are partially erupted are extracted out and those that are completely impacted are left as it is.
Symptomatic wisdom teeth are extracted surgically which can take 20-60 minutes depending on the angulation of the teeth.
