Impacted wisdom tooth extraction - Safir Dental Polyclinic Konya

Impacted wisdom teeth are teeth that cannot erupt properly due to the shape of the jaw structure or lack of space. These teeth can often cause various oral discomfort, pain, infection and tooth loss. Safir Dental Polyclinic Konyaoffers a professional service by specialist physicians for the safe and comfortable extraction of impacted wisdom teeth.

What is Impacted Wisdom Tooth?

Wisdom teeth (wisdom teeth or third molars) usually start to erupt during adolescence or early adulthood. However, in some people, these teeth cannot erupt and settle properly because there is not enough space in the jawbone. Impacted wisdom teeth can remain stuck in the jaw or partially erupt, which can lead to various oral health problems.

When Is Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction Necessary?

• Pain and discomfort: If it causes severe pain during the eruption of the tooth.

• Infection in the gums: If there is inflammation and swelling around the impacted teeth.

• Jaw and tooth misalignment: If it misaligns the alignment of other teeth and causes shifting of the teeth.

• Bad breath If you have persistent bad breath due to impacted teeth.

• Tooth decay or infection: In cases of partial or complete tooth decay.

Care after wisdom tooth extraction
In order to speed up the healing process after tooth extraction, the following care recommendations should be considered:

• Pain and swelling: There may be mild pain and swelling for the first few days. This is normal and can be relieved with painkillers.
  
  
• Cold Compress You can apply a cold compress to the extraction site to reduce swelling.
  
  
• Avoiding Hot Ingredients: Avoid hot food and drinks for the first 24 hours. Also, alcohol and smoking can negatively affect the healing process.
  
  
• Consuming Soft Foods: Eating soft foods after extraction facilitates healing and does not damage the extraction site.
  
  
• Oral Hygiene: It is important to keep the extraction site clean. However, avoid direct brushing for the first few days after the procedure.
