Urgent Wisdom Teeth Removal

With age comes wisdom—specifically, wisdom teeth! They appear when a person is between 17 and 21. And since they grow in the farthest back part of the mouth, they are also sometimes referred to as the “third molars.” Many people experience an aching when they start to erupt from the gums, and that discomfort is completely normal. However, if the pain becomes unbearable, then it is best to get an urgent wisdom teeth removal right away. Contact Aegis Dental Group or Angola Dental Center today! We have offices in three separate locations that you can visit if you want to have your wisdom tooth extraction.

Impaction is one of the primary reasons a person feels pain when wisdom teeth start to erupt from the gums. If a wisdom tooth is impacted, it means that it is not in the right position and cannot come naturally straight up. Sometimes, wisdom teeth grow diagonally and push the teeth beside them. In other cases, they are “trapped” inside the gums because they are in a horizontal position. The best way to stop the pain is to request a wisdom tooth extraction. Here at Aegis Dental Group or Angola Dental Center, we provide that type of service. Call us today to set an appointment with one of our dentists in any of our offices.

Different Types of Wisdom Tooth Impaction

There are many types of impaction that require urgent wisdom teeth removal. Here are four of the most common ones:

• Mesial Impaction – This is also called an angular impaction, and this happens when the tooth grows diagonally toward the front of the mouth.
• Vertical Impaction – In a vertical impaction, the wisdom tooth is in the right position, but it is hidden below the gums. In some cases, this does not cause too much pain, so wisdom tooth surgery might not be necessary.
• Horizontal Impaction – This refers to the condition when the wisdom tooth grows horizontally. It sometimes moves toward the direction of the tooth next to it, which causes a lot of pain. That is why wisdom teeth surgery is often required in this case.
• Distal Impaction – A distally impacted wisdom tooth is a bit like mesial impaction because it also grows diagonally and at a certain angle. The only difference is it points toward the back of the mouth.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure. The first step is to undergo a pre-surgical consultation and take a 3D image of the mouth and jaw through an X-ray. This process can be done at any of our offices. Just call our Angola, Goshen, or Warsaw office to set an appointment.
