Date: 31-Mar-2025
Does your mouth hurt in the back? Swollen gums when eating? It is possibly a case of wisdom teeth! These are the last set of teeth to erupt and often make things difficult. At Dental Krafts, we offer safe and painless wisdom tooth removal so you can be free from that suffering!
When Do Wisdom Teeth Come In?
The last molars to grow at the back of your mouth are wisdom teeth, termed as the third molars. These teeth usually come in between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people have no problems, but for many, these teeth cause pain, swelling, or infection.
Where Are Wisdom Teeth Located? How Many Are There?
Cancer & Its Types- Each human may have up to four wisdom teeth:
Two in the upper jaw (one on each side)
Two in the lower jaw (one on each side)
But not everybody gets all four! Some people may have only one, two, or none at all.
How Do Wisdom Teeth Grow?
Generally involve three kinds of growth:
Fully Erupted β Grows just fine like some other molars.
Partially Erupted β Coming out into the swelling, causing the infection.
Impacted (Stuck in the Jaw) β No space to grow thus causing pain and pressure.
Different Directions Wisdom Teeth Can Grow:
Towards the cheek β Causes mouth irritation.
Towards other teeth β Pushing nearby teeth, it causes pain and misalignment.
Towards the back of the mouth β Difficult to clean, resulting in infections.
Horizontal under the gum β Gets stuck, causing intense pain and swelling.
Why Do People Delay Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Fear of dental procedures
Hoping the pain will go away on its own
Believing wisdom teeth will eventually fit
Worrying about the cost of removal
However, waiting too long can make the situation worse. Delayed treatment can result in severe pain, infections, and permanent damage to other teeth and the jaw.
Why Should You Remove Your Wisdom Teeth?
It is recommended to extract wisdom teeth in the following scenarios:
If the tooth gets impacted and is getting infected β It causes pain.
If the tooth does not have enough space β Prevents proper eruption.
If it angles in its growth path β Influences other teeth.
If you have recurrent infections, swelling, or bad breath.
If the tooth creates stiffness β Leads to jaw, sinus, or headache problems.
What Happens If You Don't Remove Your Wisdom Teeth?
Severe pain that spreads to the jaw and ear
Swollen, inflamed gums leading to infection
Crowding and shifting of other teeth
Difficulty chewing and speaking
Cysts or tumors that damage the jawbone
Chronic bad breath and poor oral hygiene
Delaying extraction only makes the situation worse. In some cases, you may require complex surgery if the wisdom tooth gets stuck deep in the jawbone.
Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Painful?
The procedure is entirely painless with modern anesthesia and advanced techniques.
Painless on the day of the procedure β Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable.
Mild discomfort in the days after extraction β Easily managed with analgesics.
Quick recovery β Most people recover within a week and return to work and normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
