Removal of wisdom-tooth

Why is it recommended to remove the wisdom teeth?

Teeth no. 8, which are evolutionary "remainder teeth", can cause a lot of problems:

     -  obstruction of teeth, because of the small teeth,

    -   they can be cleaned with difficulty as it is not easy to reach them, therefore they decay easily,

    -   they can get inflamed, can cause lock- jaw and cyst might form around them,

    -   they lean against the previous teeth, therefore they can decay and their root might work off,

    -  bridge can not be prepared, only in special cases;

    -  difficult to reach them therefore difficult to fill them,

    -  no root treatment can be done as they have2-3-4root channels,

    -  unnecessary teeth as they do not have role in chewing.

To sum it up, these teeth are causing problems in most of the cases: they can decay easily and got inflamed. Therefore we are recommending their removal.

These operations are done in local anesthesia. Usually it can be sorted with a simple tooth extraction, in some cases operation is needed.
