Overview & Clinical Approach
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often lack sufficient room in the jaw to emerge properly, becoming partially or fully impacted. This can cause agonizing pain, swollen gums, damage to adjacent molar roots, and jaw stiffness. Dr. Jyoshna performs gentle wisdom tooth removals under precise local anesthesia.
When Is This Treatment Recommended?
You may benefit from Wisdom Tooth & Minor Oral Surgery if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Severe, radiating pain at the back corner of your lower or upper jaw
- Swollen, painful gum flap (pericoronitis) around a partially erupted tooth
- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
- Crowding or decay on the adjacent second molar caused by wisdom tooth pressure
