Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth. They usually appear in the late teenage years or early twenties. However, many people do not have enough space in their jaws to accommodate them.
When wisdom teeth grow at an angle or remain trapped beneath the gums, they can cause pain, swelling, and infection. These impacted teeth may also damage neighboring teeth or lead to gum inflammation.
Digital X-rays help dentists evaluate the position of wisdom teeth and determine whether extraction is necessary.
When removal is recommended, the procedure is carefully planned to minimize discomfort and protect surrounding structures.
Most patients recover smoothly with proper aftercare and rest. Swelling and discomfort typically subside within a few days.
Individuals experiencing pain or swelling near the back of their mouth in Madhura Nagar can seek evaluation for wisdom tooth extraction at Sri Krishna Multi-Speciality Dental & Implant Studio.
