Why Do Wisdom Teeth Cause So Much Trouble?
Wisdom teeth (third molars) usually attempt to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Because modern human jaws are narrower than those of our ancestors, these teeth often become impacted — growing sideways, tilted, or trapped completely under the bone.
5 Critical Symptoms You Must Not Ignore
If you notice any of the following symptoms, schedule a diagnostic digital X-ray immediately:
- 1. Swollen, bleeding gums at the very back of your lower jaw (Pericoronitis).
- 2. Persistent dull ache or pressure radiating toward your ear, temple, or neck.
- 3. Unpleasant taste, bad breath (halitosis), or pus discharge near the rear molars.
- 4. Stiffness and difficulty opening your mouth (trismus) while chewing.
- 5. Crowding or sudden shifting of your front teeth due to forward pressure.
What Does the Surgical Removal Involve?
At Shekhar Dental Clinic, wisdom tooth extractions are performed as minor outpatient procedures under targeted local anesthesia. The procedure takes 20–30 minutes, and most patients resume work within 2–3 days with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses.
