Concerns of wisdom tooth

The teeth positioned at the rear most part of the jaw are known as the wisdom teeth. A wisdom tooth is also a molar tooth. These are the upper and lower third molars. As the tooth starts to grow at an age of about 17 or higher which can be considered old enough to be able to gain “wisdom”, the tooth came to be known as wisdom tooth and has nothing to do with the actual wisdom of the person.  A healthy wisdom tooth that has grown at the proper position or is growing appropriately does not cause the concerned person any problems.

 The ones that protrude at the incorrect spot are the once that cause pain. These grow up crooked and tend to get infected or become brittle causing a range of problems to the patient. Apart from the pain, this medical condition may even lead to distortion in the appearance of the face. To rectify the problem you must visit the nearest dental clinic and take professional help of experienced dentist.

There are many instances where the wisdom teeth break apart while still inside the gums causing immense pain. This also results in a part of the gum tissue to remain over the emerging tooth leaving small fissures between the tooth and the flap of tissue where particles of food may get trapped leading to various gum infections. Also if these teeth grow crooked or develop facing incorrect directions. In case the jaw does not have enough room to adjust the new teeth, they might not be able to even protrude out of the gum causing serious pain and suffering. The teeth is such conditions are hard to clean as they are at the back of the mouth and too congested too be cleaned. 

If you are facing any of the below symptoms you may be a candidate for the incorrect wisdom teeth growth and should consult a dentist as soon as possible.

• Pain at the position of the new emerging tooth
• Annoyance in the cheek or tongue due to the awkward angle of the new tooth
• Pain due to infection of gum when the tooth breaks before growing out of the gum
• Swarming of the teeth in an inappropriate manner due to less space on the jaw leading to various cases of tooth decay as the cleaning becomes very difficult.

Any dentist will be able to diagnose the conditions using sophisticated equipment and procedures. The dentist usually inspects the tooth using light and mirrors to check for any irregularities. She/he might also recommend an X-Ray report to check the structure of the jaw surrounding the impacted tooth. This gives them a clearer picture of the condition and enables them to provide better diagnosis and also predict any conditions that may not cause any issue now but may become troublesome in the near future. The most traditional practice of remedying such medical conditions is the extraction of the concerned wisdom tooth. The dentists carry out the removal through operation on the jaw after numbing the surrounding area with anesthesia to make the patient comfortable during the operation. The operation is usually painless and results in complete relief. If you face any such condition, visit the nearest dentist to get the best advice.
