Wisdom Tooth extraction

2017-07-24 08:38:55
I am suffering from minor pain since last 2 years, after consulting dentist i am advised to extract the same as a permanent solution. But my concern is my half wisdom teeth is already broken and only half is left at present. So, how it will be removed? I don't want to undergo any surgical part for extraction of the same. Is it possible?

Hello. If the wisdom teeth has not erupted properly, it will have to be removed by surgical method, irrespective of how much tooth is remaining.  You will have some pain and swelling, which can be controlled by medicines. If you delay for a long time you may end up having more infection and pain.

Meet your nearest  dentist and get the required treatment done.

Third molars or wisdom tooth are removed under local anesthesia ...when the tooth is half broken .. remaining tooth and roots are to be removed surgically , usually overlying gum and minimum amount of overlying bone is usually removed to facilitate the removal of wisdom tooth .. total procedure will be under the coverage of antibiotics and local anesthesia so you will not experience any pain.. u will experience slight discomfort which can be managed by the analgesics ...
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist and go for extraction
