Wisdom teeth & jaw joints
Wisdom teeth & extraction
Suitability and methods depend on your condition. This is general medical information, not a diagnosis. Confirm actual clinic services and your plan during consultation. This translation needs review by a clinician and a native-language reviewer.
Understanding the treatment
Wisdom-tooth eruption, decay, inflammation and surrounding structures are assessed to decide whether monitoring or extraction is appropriate.
What do we examine?
Erupted, partially erupted and impacted teeth are distinguished. Inflammation, decay and relationships to nearby teeth are checked. Imaging may assess nerve canals and other structures.
Examination and treatment steps
- Examination
- Locate wisdom tooth
- Assess extraction need
- Assess complexity and surrounding structures
- Extract if indicated
- Aftercare
Steps may change or additional care may be needed after examination.
Must every wisdom tooth be removed?
Problem-free teeth that can be kept clean may be monitored. Repeated inflammation, decay and effects on adjacent teeth inform the decision.
Complexity may require referral
Cases beyond the clinic’s treatment scope may be referred to an appropriate medical institution.
Care after treatment
Follow instructions for bleeding control, eating and hygiene, and attend healing checks.
Points to consider
Bleeding, swelling, infection or altered sensation can occur. Seek professional advice for persistent severe pain or bleeding.
