EXTRACCIÓN DE MUELAS DE JUICIO
The wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the back of the mouth. Most people get them in their late teens or early twenties. They are just like your other teeth and, in most cases, do not create any problems. Wisdom teeth can help you with daily oral function when they are healthy and properly aligned. But in some cases, the wisdom teeth are misaligned and can also come in at an odd angle. It can become painful and cause problems with neighboring teeth. In those cases, our dentist may suggest a wisdom tooth extraction.
Dr. Stella González offers an efficient wisdom tooth extraction procedure in our fully equipped dental office. She can talk to us directly in case she has a problem with her wisdom teeth. In some cases, patients are unaware of their wisdom teeth. You can ask your dentist about it. They will take an X-ray and can then tell you about her alignment and position. If they see any problems, they can also send the reports to an oral surgeon for further evaluation.
The complexity of this procedure depends on the position and location of your wisdom teeth. If your teeth are above the gum, they can be easily removed. But it is present under the gums and has not fully erupted yet; will have to undergo a surgical procedure. Here, the tooth will be removed in pieces to minimize the amount of bone removed.
¿Cuándo necesitas una extracción de muelas del juicio?
You will need to have your wisdom teeth removed if you are having problems. Common problems include
- The wisdom tooth is completely hidden under the gums. If it can’t emerge properly and gets caught inside their jaws, that can cause a lot of pain. You could also get infections and cysts, which are detrimental to overall oral health.
- Suppose your wisdom tooth partially emerges above the gums. It becomes difficult to clean the area at the back of the mouth, especially with teeth halfway through. In these cases, your wisdom teeth can become a site for decay and bacterial growth.
- If your wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to grow, they will crowd into the neighboring teeth. This could cause alignment problems and affect your bite.
