Dasan-dong Dental Clinic: If You're Looking for a Clinic That Can Extract Wisdom Teeth on the Same Day

Wisdom teeth, said to be named for the pain they cause, akin to the pangs of first love, are typically the last teeth to erupt, though this varies by individual. While some people seek dental care due to severe pain when their wisdom teeth emerge, others whose wisdom teeth have erupted correctly like other natural teeth, or who experience no pain, might wonder if extraction is truly necessary. So, is wisdom tooth extraction always essential?

If a wisdom tooth has erupted in a correct shape, extraction is not always mandatory. However, if even a correctly erupted wisdom tooth causes cavities or gum disease, bites the cheek, or affects adjacent natural teeth, then wisdom tooth extraction is necessary.

If a wisdom tooth is impacted (unable to break through the gum and remains hidden within) or partially impacted (lying sideways, breaking through only partially), it's not only difficult for it to grow correctly but can also cause gum inflammation, or food impaction between it and adjacent molars, leading to cavities. Therefore, even if there's no immediate pain, cavities, or gum disease, wisdom tooth extraction is generally recommended.

If problematic wisdom teeth are not extracted, a cyst called a dentigerous cyst can form and gradually enlarge, potentially compressing or damaging dental nerves. If left untreated for a long time due to lack of pain, it can lead to problems such as the misalignment of adjacent teeth or resorption of tooth roots. In severe cases, pressure on the jawbone can even cause jawbone fractures. Therefore, it is wise to preserve natural teeth by extracting wisdom teeth promptly.

Occasionally, some people think they can just extract a wisdom tooth when pain occurs. However, wisdom tooth extraction cannot be performed immediately if there is gum bleeding, swelling, or existing inflammation. Therefore, we recommend early extraction when there is no pain or swelling.

At Dasan-dong Dental Clinic, when you visit for wisdom tooth extraction, we meticulously examine your current oral condition using 3D-CT. If inflammation, bleeding, or swelling is already present, we take measures to alleviate these symptoms, and then schedule the wisdom tooth extraction after a certain period.

If you do not have the aforementioned symptoms and the situation is not highly complex, we can perform same-day wisdom tooth extraction to help you maintain your dental health.
