A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct an actual problem or to prevent problems that may come up in the future. Some of the problems that can occur when wisdom teeth come in are: Your jaw may not be large enough for them, and they may become impacted and unable to break through your gums. Your wisdom teeth may break partway through your gums, causing a flap of gum tissue to grow over them. Food and germs can get trapped under the flap and cause your gums to become red, swollen, and painful. These are signs of infection.
DISIMPACTION is initiated by administration of local or general anesthetic as decided by dentist with patient’s consent. Once anesthetized, In second step, the gums are incised and underlying bone is partially removed by surgical instruments to gain access to the impacted tooth. In third step, it is decided by dental surgeon whether to remove the tooth as single structure or whether to split in multiple sections.
