When do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted, but certain issues may make an extraction necessary. This could include:

Recurring pain and swelling because of a partly showing tooth (Pericoronitis)
Tooth decay
Gum disease (Periodontal disease)
Fracture of the tooth
Cyst formation around the wisdom tooth root
Impaction (not enough room in the mouth for the tooth to come through properly)

Having an impacted wisdom tooth removed surgically is an extremely effective solution to these issues, and also means your other teeth and general oral health will not suffer any further because of them.

A large factor that will affect your wisdom tooth extraction cost is whether you choose to go to a general dentist, or to a highly skilled oral surgeon.

Depending on the complexity of the affected tooth’s position, the severity of damage or decay, and a variety of other factors, it is likely that you will be referred to an oral surgeon, such as our Dr. Hannah Flynn, for your wisdom tooth removal.

If you are experiencing severe pain or discomfort from your wisdom teeth, or if you have been referred to see an oral surgeon by your usual dentist, you should make an appointment with us as soon as possible.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?

We have ensured our wisdom teeth removal costs are extremely competitive when compared to other top rated specialist dentists near us in London, UK.

Our typical wisdom tooth extraction cost ranges from £325 to £475 per tooth. Wisdom teeth removal costs can vary depending on the complexity of your case, so this will be discussed at your consultation.

What is the recovery process like?

Everyone responds to surgery differently. Some people might experience a bit of discomfort and soreness for the first three days and require painkillers. Some people might even experience slight bruising or swelling on the outside of the face which usually resolves within a week or two.

After these three days, you will begin to feel much better and be able to chew properly again.

Your mouth will start to feel normal again after one week and by that time, you’ll have forgotten all about your wisdom tooth extraction.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Does every Wisdom Tooth need extraction?

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom Tooth Extraction is required for some patients, but often there are other treatments that can be considered before extraction is required.

What Is an Impacted Tooth?

An impacted tooth is a tooth that gets blocked as it is pushing through the gum into your mouth (erupting). Wisdom teeth often are impacted. Though this does not necessarily mean wisdom tooth extraction.

Wisdom teeth usually begin to come in between the ages of 17 and 25. Dentists call these teeth third molars. These are the last teeth to erupt, and they normally erupt into a position closely behind the last standing teeth (second molars). Space for these teeth to erupt can be limited. Wisdom teeth often fail to erupt or erupt only partially, which is often due to impaction of the wisdom teeth against the second molars (teeth directly in front of the wisdom teeth). In most cases, this occurs when second molars are blocking the path of eruption of third molar teeth and act as a physical barrier, preventing complete eruption. They may become impacted because there is not enough room in your mouth for them. A wisdom tooth also might be trying to come in sideways. Or, it might be tilted in your jaw.

An impacted tooth can be painless. You may not even realise it is there. However, when an impacted wisdom tooth tries to come in, the flap of gum on top of it can become infected and swollen. This can hurt. You might even feel pain in nearby teeth, or in the ear on that side of your face.

An impacted tooth can lead to an infection called pericoronitis. If untreated, this infection can spread to the throat or into the neck.

Impacted teeth can also decay. An impacted tooth can push on the neighbouring molar. This can lead to decay in the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth and gum disease can occur due to the angle of the wisdom tooth and the difficulty of cleaning well around it and the tooth in front. Rarely, impacted teeth can cause cysts or other growths in the jaw.

When To Call Your Dentist about a Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Call your dentist if you feel pain in your back teeth. If you visit your dentist regularly, he or she will keep track of your wisdom teeth and let you know if you need to have them taken out. Your dentist may take extra X-rays to check your wisdom teeth. Routine X-rays often don’t show these teeth.

Symptoms

Symptoms include:
• Swelling of the gum in the back of your mouth
• Difficulty opening your jaw (trismus)
• Bad breath
• A bad taste in the mouth
• Pain when you open your mouth
• Pain when chewing or biting.

Pain can occur for several days and then disappear. It can come back weeks or months later.

Diagnosis

Your dentist will examine the area. If necessary, they will take X-rays. X-rays can show where your wisdom teeth are and if they are impacted.

Prevention

There is no way to prevent an impacted wisdom tooth, but you can prevent decay by brushing and flossing well and this will also reduce the chances of gum disease and infection occurring.

Treatment

You can sometimes relieve minor irritation by rinsing with warm salt water (teaspoon of salt added to a small cup of boiled water). Anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen can also help. To aid resolution in minor cases tough, chewy foods should be avoided and you should try and eat all your food on the opposite side of your mouth to where the pain is.

If the tooth continues to cause pain, is infected or interferes with nearby teeth, the usual treatment is to extract the tooth. Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if the infection is considered severe.

Patients are often referred to an oral or maxillofacial surgeon within a hospital or specialist practice to have an impacted tooth removed as minor surgery is sometimes required to remove an impacted wisdom tooth. This is generally a procedure carried out under local anaesthesia and there is no need to stay in hospital after the procedure.

After the surgery you may have swelling of the cheeks and jaw. It may be hard to eat certain foods. Follow your dentist’s or surgeon’s instructions carefully for the best recovery. Stitches (sutures) are often placed to allow the gum to heal properly. Generally, these stitches are dissolvable so there is no need to return to see your surgeon after the extraction.

Does An Impacted Wisdom Tooth Mean Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

An impacted tooth may not bother you or affect nearby teeth. In this case, you won’t need immediate treatment. However, your dentist may recommend that the tooth be taken out to avoid future problems. For example, it can be very difficult to keep impacted teeth and the tooth beside it clean due to the angle the impacted tooth has come through, so the impacted wisdom tooth is taken out before any decay or gum disease occurs.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

November 26, 2022 Neem Dental Clinic

Your teeth are very important, not only for speaking and eating, but also for maintaining the strength and structure of your jawbone and oral cavity. This is why, wherever it’s possible, your dentist will recommend tooth restoration over tooth extraction. In the rare case that a tooth has suffered from extensive damage due to injury or decay, there is overcrowding issues or some other problem that cannot effectively be resolved through restoration procedures, your dentist may recommend extraction. He may also recommend extraction if this is more financially feasible for you than restoration procedures.

Why Surgical Tooth Extraction May Be Necessary

**Fast Recovery From Wisdom Teeth Surgery in Neem Dental Clinic**

Simple tooth extraction occurs when a tooth has straight roots, extends above the gumline and is structurally sound enough to be loosened and extracted in one piece from above the gums. Surgical tooth extraction occurs where surgical techniques must be used in order to section the tooth into pieces or to make an incision in the soft tissue for tooth removal. The surgical tooth extraction procedure is used to remove impacted wisdom teeth, extensively damaged teeth that have little or no intact structure or teeth that are contributing to overcrowding issues and cannot be removed through simple tooth extraction. In order to perform a surgical tooth extraction, your dentist will:

Review your health history. It is important to consider whether you may need antibiotic premedication prior to surgical tooth extraction in order to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery. Your dentist may also ask you to temporarily suspend your use of blood thinning medications for several days before and after the procedure to minimize the risk of prolonged extraction site bleeding.
Administer anesthesia. In order to ensure the surgical tooth extraction procedure is as comfortable as possible, your dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area directly around the tooth.
Incise and elevate gum flap if necessary. Where the tooth is either not visible or is only partly visible, your dentist will need to expose it with gum incision and elevation.
Release periodontal ligament fibers. Though teeth are not fused to the bone, they are suspended in the bony tooth socket with shock-absorbing ligament fibers. Your dentist will use a special dental tool called a periotome to release these fibers so that the tooth can be removed.
Remove bone as needed. In some cases bone must be removed from around the tooth in order to allow for extraction.
Place a gauze safety net. In order to protect against inhaling or swallowing the tooth upon its removal, your dentist will place a gauze safety net at the back of the mouth.
Section the tooth if necessary. In many cases, teeth that require surgical extraction must also be sectioned into pieces in order to be safely and easily removed. Your dentist will decide how many pieces to section your tooth into depending upon the number and shape of the roots as well as whether there are nerves nearby that need to be protected.
Loosen the tooth and expand the bony socket. The bony socket of a tooth is somewhat pliable, which means it can be safely and gently expanded in order to allow for easier tooth removal. Using a special dental tool called an elevator, your dentist will apply leverage to the tooth in order to loosen it and expand the bony socket. That said, teeth that have been sectioned into pieces for easier removal don’t usually require bony socket expansion.
Remove the tooth. Your dentist will gently remove the tooth from the socket, taking pieces out in a specific sequence in order to ensure smooth removal.
Perform ridge preservation with socket graft if necessary. Where teeth that are being removed need to be replaced, your dentist may want to perform a socket graft in order to slow the normal bone reabsorption process and thereby preserve the normal height and width of the bony ridge.
Apply pressure to control bleeding. There are no major arteries in tooth sockets, so the bleeding that follows tooth extraction is usually minimal. However, by applying pressure and gauze to the area, your dentist can help to further control and minimize this bleeding.
Give you post-operative instructions. It is very important to take proper care of your mouth, especially after a tooth extraction procedure. Your dentist will give you instructions and answer any questions you may have following your surgical tooth extraction.
