Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to emerge, typically between ages 17-25. They frequently become impacted when there is not enough room in the mouth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infections, cysts and damage to nearby teeth. Symptoms of an impacted wisdom tooth infection include pain when biting or swallowing, jaw swelling, fever and pus drainage from gums. Treatment involves antibiotics and usually extracting the impacted tooth. Leaving impacted wisdom teeth untreated risks further complications.

2. Wisdom tooth time ticking dangers ##
• The badass pain
• If anyone calls it so it won’t be wrong, you cannot
understand until you feel that one.
• Also, there are reasons why the third molars or the
wisdom tooth are asked to remove.

4. • Unfortunately, problems with our wisdom teeth are
one of the most common, painful and disruptive oral
health issues that we experience in our lives.
• Therefore it is important that you know the warning
signs of a troublesome wisdom tooth so you can
identify the issue as early as possible.

5. • Thankfully the treatment is relatively simple with
outright results, and as a result of this; the removal
of a wisdom tooth is the most common procedure
carried out in Delhi, Ashok Vihar at Dr. Sachdeva's
dental institute.

6. • When you are experiencing a pain that you think
might trace back to the furthest corner in your
mouth, or maybe you’re curious. Either way, we hope
this blog post can help you on your way.
• Out of the most common symptoms of wisdom tooth
pain, infection is to discussed below, let start with
knowing all about it from the beginning.

7. What is a wisdom tooth?
• Your wisdom teeth are found at the back of your
gums and are often referred to as your third molars.
• Most adults have 32 teeth, including 4 wisdom teeth,
one in each corner of your mouth and are the last
teeth to come through, if they come through at all.

8. • They normally grow (erupt) through between the
ages of 17 to 25 and can often cause issues because
there simply isn’t enough room in the mouth for the
wisdom teeth to grow properly.
• Due to this lack of space, the teeth can come through
at an angle or only partially push through the gum.
This is what is known as impacted wisdom teeth, and
more often than not these impacted wisdom teeth
will need to be removed.

9. Wisdom Tooth Infection Symptoms
and Signs
• When a wisdom tooth erupts only partially, the
opening can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria,
resulting in a wisdom tooth infection.
• Otherwise known as pericoronitis, a wisdom tooth
infection is serious and can be a bit tricky to treat.

10. • That’s because when your wisdom teeth don’t come
in all the way, a flap of gum will cover where the
partial eruption started.
• Your wisdom tooth infection is unlikely to heal until
this flap of gum is removed, your wisdom tooth
comes in all the way, or the wisdom tooth is
removed.

12. • From pericoronitis, an infection can worsen and
spread, at which point the symptoms are much more
serious.
• These symptoms include:
• pain while biting /eating/swallowing (exactly
anything including talking)
• reduced mouth opening (trismus)
• Fever
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling unwell overall

13. • Swollen glands in the neck (the corner of the jaw-
angle of the mandible or the area of the jaw)
• Bad breath
• Bad taste in the mouth from the release of pus from
the infected area
• Difficulty moving the jaw

14. • While it’s not common, it is possible for this infection
to become so severe that emergency medical
treatment is required.
• The best solution is to tend to any infection in this
area as soon as it shows up or prevents infection by
removing impacted wisdom teeth.

15.  Elaborately -
Constant Pain at Sites of Wisdom Teeth
• Impacted wisdom teeth can result in a pulsing pain
that radiates from the areas of the mouth from
where the wisdom teeth should emerge.
• If the condition is allowed to develop, the pain can
spread as nearby teeth are affected by the impacted
wisdom teeth

17. Swollen Jaw
• Initially, the swelling of the jaw may be little.
However, as the condition progresses, the swelling
will increase so that it begins to affect how well you
can open your mouth or make chewing motions.

19. Cysts
• The presence of a cyst is a glaring indication that you
should speak to finally visit the dentist.
• The sac from which your wisdom teeth grow can
become filled with fluid when the teeth become
impacted.
• This can cause not only pain but infections in
adjacent teeth.

21. Headaches
• The sudden presence of a headache, especially in
addition to other symptoms of impacted wisdom
teeth, should not be ignored.
• A headache may stem from your temporomandibular
joint, the area where your skull and jaw meet, and
that is near where the wisdom teeth should be
emerging.

23. Painful Gums
• Impacted wisdom teeth can cause your gums to
become very tender to the touch and swollen.
• If pressure is applied to an affected area of the gums,
it might bleed.

24. • Having gums in this condition can make routine
dental care practices, such as brushing and flossing,
extremely painful, especially in the back areas of the
gums that can be difficult to clean under normal
circumstances.
• Because impacted wisdom teeth are particularly
prone to infection, your gums may also become
susceptible to gum diseases.

25. Examinations and Tests
• Checking the swollen tissue over the area where a
tooth has not emerged, or has only partially
emerged.
• The impacted tooth may be pressing on nearby
teeth. The gums around the area may show signs of
infection such as redness, drainage, and tenderness.

26. • As gums swell over impacted wisdom teeth and then
drain and tighten, it may feel like the tooth came in
and then went back down again.
• Dental x-rays confirm the presence of one or more
teeth that have not emerged.

27. Prognosis
• Impacted teeth may cause no problems for some
people and may not need treatment. Treatment is
usually successful when the tooth does cause
symptoms.
• Having wisdom teeth removed before age 20 often
has better results than waiting until you are older.

28. • This is because the roots are not yet fully developed,
which makes it easier to remove the tooth and to
heal better.
• As a person ages, the roots become longer and
curved. Bone becomes more rigid, and complications
can develop.

29. Treatment
• No treatment may be needed if the impacted tooth is
not causing any problems.
• Over-the-counter pain relievers may help if the
impacted tooth causes discomfort.
• Warm salt water or over-the-counter mouthwashes
may be soothing to the gums.
• Removal of the tooth is the usual treatment for an
impacted tooth.
• Antibiotics may be prescribed before the extraction if
the tooth is infected.

30. • To treat pericoronitis, the area is numbed then
thoroughly cleans out any damaged tissue or pus.
• Antibiotics will often be given and a patient may be
told to rinse the area with warm salt water.
• In a few cases, the tooth below the gum may have
room to erupt and the only treatment needed is the
surgical removal of the gum over the tooth.

31. • But the majority of people will need to plan on
removal of impacted wisdom teeth once the infection
is resolved.
• Dr. Rajat Sachdeva, with his many years of advanced
training and experience, can care for exactly this kind
of problem.

32. Complications of Impacted Wisdom
Teeth
• There are varying degrees of impacted wisdom teeth,
some partially impacted teeth may have part of the
crown showing, while others never penetrate the
gum and are fully impacted.
• There are potential complications of both partially
impacted and completely impacted teeth.

33. • Complications can begin as bleeding gums or mild
pain but if left untreated, these symptoms can
develop into such hazards as:
 Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Wisdom teeth can push
on the second molars, yielding infection or the
requirement of orthodontia.

34.  Gum Disease and Tooth Decay: Wisdom teeth are
prone to infection and decay due to this area of the
mouth being rendered difficult to clean; this causes
food and bacteria to become trapped between the
teeth and gums.

36.  Development of Cysts: Wisdom teeth grow in a sac
located within the jaw and when filled with fluid can
develop an uncomfortable cyst that can damage
nerves.

37. Prevention
 Practicing good oral hygiene: Brushing teeth twice a
day, flossing, and using mouthwash can help reduce
the bacteria in the mouth that cause infections.
 Drinking plenty of water: This helps to flush food and
bacteria away from the teeth and gums.
 Avoid sugary foods: Sweet foods can get stuck inside
the broken gums, encouraging bacteria to grow.
