Third molars, commonly known as “wisdom teeth”, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, usually between the ages of 17–25 years. While some wisdom teeth erupt normally without causing any issues, many become impacted or partially erupted, leading to pain, infection, swelling, and damage to nearby teeth.
At Maxora Superspeciality Clinic, we provide advanced diagnosis and painless management of wisdom tooth problems with modern surgical techniques and patient-focused care.
What Is an Impacted Third Molar?
An impacted wisdom tooth is a tooth that does not have enough space to erupt properly. It may remain trapped inside the jawbone or gums and can grow sideways, partially erupt, or press against adjacent teeth.
Common Types of Impaction
- Horizontal impaction
- Vertical impaction
- Distoangular impaction
- Mesioangular impactio
Symptoms of Wisdom Tooth Problems
You may require evaluation if you experience:
- Pain at the back of the mouth
- Swelling around the gums
- Difficulty opening the mouth
- Bad breath or unpleasant taste
- Food lodgement near the wisdom tooth
- Recurrent gum infection
- Jaw pain or facial swelling
- Damage or decay in adjacent teeth
Sometimes impacted third molars remain painless but still cause hidden damage visible only on dental X-rays.
Why Wisdom Teeth May Need Removal
Removal may be advised when wisdom teeth cause:
- Recurrent infections (Pericoronitis)
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Cyst formation
- Damage to adjacent second molars
- Crowding or pressure
- Pain and swelling
- Difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene
Early evaluation often allows easier and safer treatment.
How Is Wisdom Tooth Surgery Performed?
Wisdom tooth removal is a routine oral surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Depending on the position of the tooth, the procedure may involve:
- Small gum incision
- Bone removal if required
- Sectioning of the tooth
- Gentle extraction
- Suturing for healing
Advanced imaging and minimally traumatic techniques help improve comfort and recovery.
