Who should you consult to get your teeth removed?
When you have to remove your wisdom teeth for one
reason or other, who should you consult? A
cosmetic/family dentist, periodontist or an oral
surgeon? The answer is any one of them. While
many of these professionals will have the
necessary training to remove your teeth easily,
an oral surgeon has specific training in the
field of surgery. This includes wisdom tooth
extraction, which they compete 4-year
hospital-based training after completing their
dentistry degree.

Factors to decide upon
  • Factors to decide upon
  • Any dentist can remove a normal tooth but if
    there is any complication you should consult a
    specialist. Here are some factors that might help
    you decide which dentist to choose for teeth
    extraction.
  • The condition of your teeth
  • The condition of your mouth is the most important
    among them, Nerve injury, constant bleeding, and
    infections, how badly your teeth are impacted and
    if the root is decayed are all determinate
    factors. These teeth can emerge in a wrong
    position unless a professional remove them before
    that point.

  • To figure out the condition of your teeth the
    dentist will do an oral exam, which includes
    taking an X-ray of the infected tooth. The X-ray
    can give information about the position of teeth,
    its strength and the condition of the root.
  • Your level of anxiety
  • Anxiety can also be a deciding factor, and an
    oral surgeon can provide anesthesia so you could
    be at ease during the surgery.
  • Your health condition
  • The third deciding factor is your health
    condition, if you have ongoing health issues it
    is best to consult with a dental surgeon.

Your dentist will advise you after reviewing the
above information. If an extraction is right for
you, the dentist will determine if you need an
oral surgeon or a regular dentistwill
suffice. The process is obviously uncomfortable
and painful to some extent, but if you start to
feel a lot of pain, and your gum is swollen or
very red there might be some complication see
your dentist immediately. Sometimes its because
you may have inherited a jaw size thats too
small for your tooth size and generally
speaking, the size of the human jaw has evolved
to become smaller over time.

If the room is lacking, the adjacent molar (that
came in earlier) can interfere with the path of
eruption causing the wisdom tooth to come in at
an odd angle. The wisdom tooth can hit up against
that other tooth, possibly causing pain or
damaging the adjacent tooth. This is known as
impaction. Sometimes the wisdom tooth breaks
only partway through the gum tissue, leaving a
space beneath the gum line thats almost
impossible to clean, causing infection. A serious
oral infection can jeopardize the survival of
teeth and even spread to other parts of the body.

One question still tickling in our mind is, What
is wisdom teeth and how it will be the problem of
many people nowadays? Wisdom teeth or third
molars are the last 4 out of 32 teeth to emerge
in our mouth they are at the back of your jaw,
in the last corner. These teeth start emerging
from the age of 17 to 25.
