Wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth
On average, adults have thirty-two teeth, sixteen and sixteen top to bottom. All teeth have a name and a specific role. The forward teeth (incisors, canines and bicuspid) are ideal to take food and shred into pieces. The back teeth, the molars, are used to grind food into a consistency that can swallow. However, most mouths are made so that they can contain only 28 teeth. This can be extremely painful when 32 teeth trying to find room in a mouth that can contain only 28. The last four teeth are third molars, also known as wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth are the last to appear. When they are aligned properly and that the gum tissue is healthy, no need to retrieve. Unfortunately, in general, this is not the case. We must extract wisdom teeth when they can not grow properly in the mouth. They may grow sideways, emerge partially gum or even remain trapped under the gums and bone. The teeth can take different positions in the bone when they try to find a path that will promote the eruption.

The misplaced teeth can cause several problems. When they grow partially opening around each tooth growth of bacteria which eventually causes infections, swelling, stiffness, pain or illness. The pressure caused by wisdom teeth that grow can cause widespread pain throughout the area. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the wisdom teeth, which can damage the bones of the jaw and teeth healthy. In general, extraction of teeth that cause problems rule the situation. It is recommended to extract the teeth as soon as possible to avoid such problems and risks associated with surgery.
By an examination and X-rays of the mouth, your doctor can determine the location of your wisdom teeth and predict whether or not any problems. Studies have shown that patients examined and treated early have fared better than others. In general, a dentist, an orthodontist or doctor made the first examination of patients in this regard by mid-adolescence.

All surgical procedures involve the use of any form of anesthesia. The doctors were trained in this area and they have experience and skills to practice various forms of anesthesia to make interventions less pain. These services are offered in the safest framework, using modern surveillance equipment and specialized personnel in the techniques of anesthesia.
