Yes,If it is impacted then surgical extraction is the only option. But you can wait unless it is causing you pain.

Yes if your dentist has confirmed that it is impacted then the only option is to get that tooth extracted surgically. Surgery by the name might seem like a complex procedure but actually is a quite small procedure. So there's no need to worry. Depending upon the level and type of impaction the surgical extraction can take as much as 20 minutes to an hour. Xray of the tooth will make the picture more clear. About your second question, with man evolving nowadays impaction of teeth has been quite normal with jaws size reduced than they used to be previously. So due to lack of enough place there's hardly any possibility that the tooth might come out entirely. So the only option is to get it extracted.

I understand your concern about your daughter's impacted wisdom tooth. In most cases, when wisdom teeth are impacted, meaning they are unable to fully erupt through the gums, surgical extraction is usually necessary. Here's why: Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth often lack adequate space in the mouth to grow properly, leading to impaction. This can cause various problems, including pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and misalignment. Potential complications: Impacted wisdom teeth can create pockets around them, which are difficult to clean and may become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Additionally, cysts or tumors can develop around impacted teeth, causing further complications. Non-eruption is common: Impacted wisdom teeth do not typically erupt on their own and tend to remain embedded in the jawbone. This can cause ongoing issues and discomfort. Professional assessment: Your daughter's dentist has likely evaluated her case and recommended surgery based on factors such as the position of the impacted tooth, potential complications, and her overall oral health. The dentist's expertise ensures the best course of action for her specific situation. While surgery may seem intimidating, it is a routine procedure performed by oral surgeons or dentists with experience in extractions. They will ensure your daughter's comfort during the procedure and provide appropriate aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery. To gain a clearer understanding of the situation and address any concerns, I recommend discussing the specifics with your daughter's dentist. They can provide detailed insights based on her unique circumstances and explain the benefits of wisdom tooth extraction in her case.

Hi . Kindly attach pics and full mouth x ray if it's Available for better suggestions If she has pain and if the position of tooth isnt proper then it's better to get it extracted

Yes, if the tooth is impacted, surgical procedure is required. Don't worry, the procedure is done under the effect of local anaesthesia, so the patient doesn't experience pain.

No! If the tooth is angulated you have to get it done as soon as possible otherwise it will harm the nearby tooth

1st of all impacted tooth doesnt come out of its own,if it is impacted inside and eruption age is over.(your last question) 2nd its need to be removed surgically under local anaesthesia. 3rd need an opg to evaluate the position & level of impaction,its nerve relation(ian) As your daughter 's age is 17 only i ll suggest you to wait and watch for upcoming years. Incase problem arises or started developing complications, then should be removed surgically. Asap

Hi, Please share the X-Ray taken of the tooth if taken.

as your daughter is 17yrs of age, you can wait and watch for next few yrs for impacted tooth to erupt if there is no symptom related to that tooth. But the treatment plan is possible only after seeing the OPG of the pt.

Chances are less for it to come out .Kindly share the scans for the same to validate the necessity

Normally yes, if wisdom tooth is impacted then we need to remove the tooth(mostly surgical extraction).
