Pain and pressure on the 7^th tooth. It is caused by incorrect localisation of the wisdom tooth in the jaw bone. Not only does it cause unpleasant sensations, it also has an adverse effect on other teeth and the bite in general.

Gum inflammation. Sometimes the wisdom tooth only erupts partially and, therefore, it is difficult to care for. Food residues accumulate in the gum pocket, where they cannot be cleaned, and a favourable environment for the proliferation of bacteria develops; tooth decay and gum inflammation may occur.

This problem is more characteristic of wisdom teeth in the lower jaw.

The main symptoms of gum inflammation include pain, redness, swelling and limitation of mouth opening.

Caries of wisdom teeth. The eruption process of wisdom teeth is usually long (it can last for several years. Wisdom teeth are localised in the area of the oral cavity that is difficult to access and it is difficult or even impossible to ensure their hygiene. Therefore, wisdom teeth decay fast. Usually they are not treated due to poor accessibility. In the event of caries and inflammations, the teeth are usually removed.

When the patient arrives to the dentist complaining of wisdom teeth, a thorough examination is performed first. X-Ray serves as an additional diagnostic method. Then, the dentist may perform extraction of the tooth. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and, therefore, it is painless. If the tooth is retained (did not erupt or erupted partially), the dentist separates and folds back the gum, thus ensuring access to the affected tooth. Further proceedings depend on the anatomy of the tooth. Sometimes, to remove the wisdom tooth, it is divided into several parts, which are then carefully removed one by one. Sutures are almost always applied after the removal of the wisdom tooth. The patient will have to arrive to remove sutures and show the wound to the physician in about a week.

It is important to observe all recommendations of the dentist after the surgery. Our patients are provided with written instructions before they leave for home.

Eating or rinsing your mouth is strictly prohibited for two hours after the procedure.

You are recommended to avoid touching the wound with your tongue for one day after the procedure, as well as consuming hot, hard and spicy food, as well as food that contains tiny particles that could enter the wound. You are recommended to chew food with the teeth of the opposite side. You are recommended to avoid visiting sun parlours and saunas for a week. Abstain from strenuous physical activities.
