Dasan-dong Dental Clinic: When Same-Day Wisdom Tooth Extraction is Possible

Dasan-dong Dental Clinic: When Same-Day Wisdom Tooth Extraction is Possible

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the largest molars that appear in the third position of the teeth. They are named ‘love teeth’ (사랑니, sarangni) in Korean because they emerge around the age when one might start to experience love. However, despite their beautiful name, wisdom teeth are notorious for causing various inconveniences in our daily lives.

Of course, if they grow in correctly, they can be used as molars, but most do not grow in properly. In such cases, they can cause cavities or inflammation in the gums, which can damage surrounding healthy teeth, so caution is required. Today, Dasan-dong Dental Clinic will inform you about the types of wisdom teeth that absolutely require extraction and the possibility of same-day wisdom tooth extraction.

The typical number of permanent teeth in an adult is 28. However, there are other teeth besides these 28: wisdom teeth. Although some people do not have wisdom teeth, most people have 1 to 4 wisdom teeth erupting after their late teens. Due to the nature of wisdom teeth, they grow at the very back of the mouth, making them difficult to manage with brushing alone. In severe cases, you may need to visit Dasan-dong Dental Clinic to consider extraction.

While same-day wisdom tooth extraction is not difficult for relatively well-aligned wisdom teeth, the difficulty of extraction increases for impacted wisdom teeth that remain embedded in the gums without breaking through the bone. Furthermore, they can cause more severe gum inflammation, so even if there are no specific symptoms, regular check-ups at Dasan-dong Dental Clinic are necessary for early treatment.

Occasionally, even when there is a problem with a wisdom tooth, some people neglect it because there is no significant pain. In such cases, a dentigerous cyst can form in the jawbone and gradually grow, potentially damaging the dental nerves. These dentigerous cysts can dissolve the jawbone and cause deformation of tooth positions, making it crucial to promptly extract problematic wisdom teeth at Dasan-dong Dental Clinic.

However, many people are concerned about the pain associated with wisdom tooth extraction. At Dasan-dong Dental Clinic, we help patients undergo comfortable wisdom tooth extraction through a systematic pain-free anesthesia system to reduce the burden of pain they might feel.

Furthermore, Dasan-dong Dental Clinic checks the patient's oral condition through university hospital-level examinations using 3D-CT equipment, which can precisely identify areas that were difficult to confirm with conventional 2D panoramic scans. If there are no issues such as inflammation or swelling, we proceed with same-day wisdom tooth extraction.

However, for patients with inflammation, swelling, or bleeding, same-day wisdom tooth extraction can be risky. In such cases, we first provide necessary treatment to alleviate symptoms before proceeding with the wisdom tooth extraction.

Dasan-dong Dental Clinic is led by a chief dentist who is a specialist in integrated dentistry certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, providing comprehensive dental care from cavity treatment to root canal treatment, wisdom tooth extraction, and implants. Especially for impacted wisdom teeth, which are known to be challenging, we perform extractions stably with extensive experience and expertise.

Moreover, all medical instruments used at Barunyoung Dental Clinic in Dasan-dong are meticulously managed based on a 9-step sterilization system, and we adhere to the principle of using one instrument per patient. Additionally, for wisdom teeth that do not require extraction, we prioritize saving and preserving them so they can be used longer.

Wisdom tooth extraction can lead to side effects such as nerve damage or paralysis if the procedure is performed incorrectly. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully choose a dental clinic that offers same-day wisdom tooth extraction. At Dasan-dong Dental Clinic, the chief dentist, a specialist in integrated dentistry, is always present in the clinic to provide 1:1 responsible care from consultation to examination, treatment planning, treatment, and aftercare, ensuring stable wisdom tooth extraction treatment.
