Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to form in the mouth, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. In some people they cannot erupt because of a lack of space, and they may remain impacted and cause problems.
Problems that wisdom teeth can cause:
- Infection of the surrounding tissues,
- Tooth decay,
- Cyst formation
- Pressure on neighboring teeth, which can push them out of position.
If they are causing complications, they should be extracted by an experienced dentist and, whenever possible, in a hospital setting.
At İzmir Özel Can Hastanesi, impacted wisdom tooth extractions are performed under sedation or general anesthesia. After the procedure there may be a period of mild pain, relieved by simple painkillers, and some bleeding. However, if you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding or a pus-like discharge, you should contact your dentist.
