Wisdom Teeth
Most of us have heard of third molars or wisdom teeth. Still, not all of 
us know what they are, when they appear in our mouth, or what kind 
of problems or complications they can generate in the rest of our 
oral cavity, including our teeth and adjacent tissues.
Wisdom teeth are frequently seen as related to the appearance of 
pain, but this does not occur in all people, nor do they all experience 
complications. 
How are wisdom teeth extracted?
• In the case of requiring extraction of wisdom teeth either by presenting 
symptoms that harm the patient extraction is performed according to the 
following procedure:
• First, some type of local anesthetic will be applied to the area.
• After this, the gum tissue over the tooth or around it will be opened.
• In some cases, it is necessary to remove the bone surrounding the wisdom 
tooth.
• Then we proceed to extract the wisdom tooth, depending on the wisdom 
tooth’s position and anatomy because some of them require sectioning into 
parts to make it easier to extract.
• After the wisdom tooth has been extracted; stitches may be needed, then 
these should be removed 5-7 days after the surgery.
• A gauze dressing will be placed to bite down on for 30 – 45 minutes to stop 
the bleeding.
What are wisdom teeth?
The third molars or wisdom teeth are the last four molars located on each side of 
the jaws behind the second molars.
They are called wisdom teeth because of the age at which they appear since 
people at that age have more developed and complete wisdom than when the 
rest of the permanent dentition appears.
 What causes wisdom tooth pain?
When the wisdom teeth erupt or are partially visible in the mouth, they can 
suffer from caries since brushing in this difficult to access area will be deficient. 
In many cases, inadequate hygiene will cause the wisdom teeth to be more 
prone to develop a carious lesion and later pain in them.
    Common Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Many patients with impacted third molars 
have no symptoms, but when the patient 
reports discomfort, it is usually because 
these teeth are infected, associated with 
Pericoronitis. It may be noted:
 Pain in the posterior area of the affected wisdom tooth.
 Inflammation of the face
 Trismus or limitation of mouth opening
 Halitosis or bad breath
 Tenderness with enlargement of the submaxillary ganglions.
