By Phyllis Schroeder


An oral surgeon or your dentist can remove a wisdom tooth. This procedure of tooth extraction often can be undertaken in the office of the surgeon or your dentist. However, you may have the surgery done in the hospital, especially if you are having all your third molars removed at one time or if you stand high risk of experiencing complications. This article provides you with insights on wisdom teeth removal Maui.

To begin with, it is worth seeing your doctor when you start experiencing severe pain and discomfort from your wisdom teeth. Allow the dentist to examine them and determine whether they need to be removed. On deciding that the teeth needs to be removed, the dentist will carry out an X-ray of your mouth in order to obtain a clearer view of the its position.

It is worth noting that wisdom teeth are only removed if they are impacted and causing problems. There is no proven benefit of removing impacted teeth when they are not causing any pain or harm, since the process carries the risk of complications.

The operation is only undertaken on third molars that have become impacted or have not wholly broken through the surface of the gum and are causing dental problems. Such teeth can cause food and bacteria to get trapped around the edges, causing a build-up of plaque- which can ultimately lead to tooth decay, gum disease, pericoronitis, Cellulities, abscess, cysts and benign growths.

The surgery may be done by your dentist or he/she may refer you to a specialist surgeon for hospital treatment. Prior to the operation, you will usually be given a local anesthetic to numb the region around the tooth. You will feel some pressure before the tooth is extracted, since the dentist needs to widen the tooth socket by rocking the tooth back and forth.

This surgery is done for two important reasons. A wisdom tooth is removed to correct an actual problem or to prevent problems that may otherwise come up in the future. Such problems that can occur when the third molars come include; your jaw not being large enough for them, your wisdom teeth may break partway through the gums and cause a flap of gum tissue to grow over them. More severe problems can emerge from impacted teeth, including infection, and damage to the bone.

The removal of third molars, as with any other surgery, faces some risks. For instance, the operation results to infection and delayed healing, especially if you smoke during your recovery. There is also a likelihood of a dull, aching sensation in your jaw or gum which is sometimes accompanied by a bad smell or taste from the empty tooth of the socket. This is called dry socket and is more likely to occur if you do not adhere to the after-care instructions given by your doctor.
