of wisdom tooth
Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to emerge in the mouth. The complications that arise from the emergence of wisdom teeth depend solely on the way it grows into your mouth.
For instance, wisdom teeth can get stuck below the gum area, causing pain and impacted wisdom teeth. If left untreated, it can cause a variety of gum diseases such as gingivitis and pericoronitis.

What happens if the wisdom tooth is not extracted?
Although severe toothache is the primary reason for a wisdom tooth extraction, let us check out some other reasons that necessitate the removal of wisdom tooth:
The gum area surrounding the impacted wisdom tooth gets inflamed
The tooth in question would be susceptible to tooth decay
Because of recurrent toothaches caused by partial eruptions, even the face becomes swollen and distorted
The lymph nodes prevailing below the jaw become swollen and sore as well
In general, the person might find it difficult to carry out daily tasks like brushing their teeth, eating, drinking, etc
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Vs Normal Tooth Extractions
Some of the few instances where you may require tooth extraction are:
- The teeth are decayed beyond repair
- Irreversible damage to the teeth caused by chips and cracks
- the teeth have naturally loosened from the gum line
Due to the easy visibility of tooth structure, the dentist can simply extract the tooth using forceps.
Wisdom tooth extraction, on the other hand, can be perceived as a complicated dental procedure because the tooth has not yet fully erupted. Although they are complex dental treatments, impacted wisdom teeth should be removed as soon they have been identified since they might create more problems to your oral health. Unlike normal tooth removal treatments, wisdom tooth needs to be extracted surgically.
