Impacted third molar. Problem?

You have to go for extraction of wisdom tooth. Wisdom tooth is extracted by a specialist dental surgeon. Not all dental clinics do wisdom teeth surgery. If you look for cheap,discounted treatment options or charitable type of centres then your problem will never end.

I understand your frustration, and I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing such discomfort and confusion regarding your impacted third molar. Dental conditions, especially impacted wisdom teeth, can indeed be complex, and different dentists may have varying opinions based on their individual experiences, training, and perspectives. When dealing with impacted wisdom teeth, the appropriate course of action can depend on several factors, as I mentioned in my previous response. The decision-making process can be influenced by the severity of symptoms, the position of the impacted tooth, the potential risks, the patient's overall dental health, and the patient's age, among other considerations. Given that you've sought multiple opinions from different practitioners, it's understandable that you feel frustrated by the lack of consensus. It's essential to remember that dentists are healthcare professionals who can have differing opinions based on their clinical judgment and assessment of your specific case. In such situations, I recommend considering the following steps: Consult an Oral Surgeon: If you haven't done so already, consider consulting an oral surgeon who specializes in wisdom teeth extractions. Oral surgeons are experts in handling complex dental cases, including impacted teeth, and they may provide a clearer recommendation based on their expertise. Seek a Second Opinion: If you've already seen multiple dentists, you might consider seeking a second opinion from a different oral surgeon or specialist. A fresh perspective from another experienced practitioner could potentially provide more clarity. Ask for Detailed Explanations: When consulting with dentists or oral surgeons, don't hesitate to ask for detailed explanations about the reasoning behind their recommended treatments. Understanding the pros and cons of each option can help you make an informed decision. Consider Risks and Benefits: Weigh the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option, including the consequences of not addressing the impacted tooth. Balancing the discomfort you're experiencing with the potential risks of leaving it untreated can guide your decision. Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, you should feel comfortable and confident with the treatment plan you choose. If you still feel unsure, trust your instincts and consider seeking further advice or additional opinions. Remember that your dental health is crucial, and it's essential to find a treatment plan that addresses your concerns and provides the best possible outcome. Don't hesitate to discuss your feelings of anxiety and frustration with your dentist or oral surgeon, as open communication is vital in the patient-dentist relationship. I wish you the best of luck in finding a suitable solution for your dental issue.

No need to be disappointed. You said your tooth is mesioangularly impacted. If a portion of your tooth is visible in oral cavity and is grossly carious OR has swollen gums around itself 'frequently' get it extracted for better reasons..!! Wisdom teeth are placed far behind in our oral cavity and limit the accessibilty fro better cleaning. Therefore, they usually become diseased and start giving troubles. If yours is giving you 'constant discomfort' then you have your answer in your statement itself! Get it removed else the discomfort in future may be intolerable or atleast worst than the current. ANd anyhow these teeth are not offering you much in chewing or eating. Different dentists will hold different opinions for different problems as there may be a number of ways to treat the same problem. In case of wisdom teeth if there is pericoronitis, it can be resolved by currettage and deep cleaning only followed by warm saline rinses. If the tooth is grossly carious, either it may be extracted or can undergo Root Canal Treatment depending upon a lot of patient factors. So, my dear there are many treatment modalities to the same problem that may vary form patient to patient. Going by your mentioned history i would suggest you get yours removed and live happily ever after without any doubts or worries as thats the only permanent solution to troublesome wisdoms.. :)

Maintain oral hygiene and trauma to the area. Brush twice daily.

Do warm saline rinses. good luck.. :) An OPG would be helpful to evaluate your condition if you could attach.

Hi, I get your concern. Please share an OPG so that we can see the position of the impacted tooth and advise you a suitable treatment plan.

Hello. I certainly understand your concern. Kindly attach OPG for better suggestions. 1)For most of them wisdom tooth eruptions are trouble some (Pain , discomfort , Swelling) 2)Few of us advise extraction as this tooth doesn't play any role in chewing, aesthetic etc. For most of them if Impacted teeth are present, patient will experience TMJ issue, deacyed of that tooth as well as other tooth next to it,cheek bite,on and off swelling, difficulty in speech,swallowing and chewing,as it erupts it ll give pressure on adjacent tooth So to avoid further complications we advised them to get it extracted 3)Few of us do not advise Extraction as,if the tooth is erupting properly and if its not that troublesome,we advise localised scaling,so that pain calms down,we can wait and watch to save it as much as possible. ***In both the cases it's for the patient's.**** 4)If you go for multiple opinions you will land up in confusion and anxiety. ABOVE are the reasons listed,as you have been to multiple opinions you can take a call whether to save or remove. Trust your doctor's, explain your concern they'll explain in detail why they have advised extraction and why not,so that you're at peace. You should be open to your doctor to understand the reason

Advised to share the OPG. Hope your question is answered
