Wisdom Teeth Removal at Kanupriya’s Dental Care: Your Path to Comfort

At Kanupriya’s Dental Care in Navi Mumbai, we specialize in wisdom teeth removal to help our patients achieve optimal oral health. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may encounter pain or complications that necessitate their removal. Our skilled team is dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable experience for every patient.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually erupt in the back of the mouth. They are called “wisdom” teeth because they appear during a time of life when individuals are typically older and more mature. While some people have enough space in their mouths for these teeth to grow in properly, many do not. This lack of space can lead to various dental problems.

Why You Might Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impaction: One of the most common reasons for wisdom teeth removal is impaction. When there isn’t enough space in the jaw, wisdom teeth can become trapped against neighboring teeth or bone. This can lead to pain, infection, and swelling.

Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets of bacteria, leading to infections that can cause pain and swelling. These infections may require removal of the affected tooth to prevent further complications.

Cavity Development: Wisdom teeth are often difficult to clean due to their location in the back of the mouth. This makes them more susceptible to cavities and decay, which may necessitate removal.

Crowding: When wisdom teeth erupt, they can push against adjacent teeth, causing crowding and misalignment. Removing them can help maintain the proper alignment of your teeth.

Cyst Formation: In some cases, fluid-filled sacs or cysts can form around the roots of impacted wisdom teeth, leading to damage to surrounding bone and teeth. Removal may be necessary to prevent further complications.
