Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While some wisdom teeth grow normally, many become impacted, partially erupted, or develop decay due to their difficult-to-clean location at the back of the mouth. A decayed wisdom tooth can cause significant pain, infection, swelling, and damage to neighboring teeth if left untreated.
At Trishna Dental and Implant Centre, expert dental professionals provide safe and comfortable wisdom tooth evaluations and extractions to help patients maintain optimal oral health.
Wisdom teeth are more prone to decay because they are located at the far end of the mouth, making them difficult to clean properly.
Common causes include:
Over time, these factors can lead to cavities and severe tooth decay.
A decayed wisdom tooth may cause:
Pain at the back of the mouth that may worsen while chewing.
Inflammation around the wisdom tooth is a common sign of infection.
Decay and bacterial buildup can lead to persistent bad breath.
Pain and discomfort may make eating difficult.
Advanced infections can affect surrounding tissues and jaw structures.
Untreated decay may result in pus formation and severe infection.
Your dentist may recommend extraction if:
Removing a problematic wisdom tooth can prevent further complications and protect surrounding teeth.
The dentist performs a thorough examination, often including digital X-rays, to evaluate the position and condition of the wisdom tooth.
The area is numbed to ensure a comfortable and pain-free procedure.
The wisdom tooth is carefully extracted. If the tooth is impacted, a minor surgical procedure may be required.
Post-operative instructions are provided to ensure smooth healing and prevent complications.
Most patients recover within a few days to a week.
