Wisdom teeth removal and Pericoronaritis ©

What is pericoronitis and what other complications can wisdom teeth cause? How is wisdom teeth extraction performed?


A wisdom tooth that erupts in a bad position can lead to pericoronitis. That is, an infection of the gums that surrounds the wisdom tooth, and whose symptoms include pain, inflammation, bleeding or bad breath. Wisdom tooth extraction solves this problem. But if the opposite tooth is not extracted, as it does not have contact with the lower one, it will gradually extrude, which may cause unwanted premature contact and again an inflammation of the lower gum. If the wisdom tooth is in a horizontal position, it can come into contact with the 2nd molar causing damage that can even end with the loss of both teeth. To remove a wisdom tooth that has not erupted, an incision is made and the overlying bone is released. Sometimes it´s necessary to divide the tooth in different parts, in order to properly remove it. Different materials such as Plasma Rich in Growth Factors can be placed in the alveolus, which accelerates healing.

If you’re getting your wisdom teeth removed soon, read this. I was in your shoes a few months ago and noticed the comments were full of people terrified of getting their teeth removed but as someone who already got mine taken out, I can tell you from experience that it was an extremely quick procedure and my recovery took less than a week. Now I’m someone that is NOT a fan of needles so the thought of getting an IV scared me but the nurses were super helpful in making me feel more comfortable and the needle is tiny and you actually don’t even feel it. The thought of getting put under also freaked me out with the whole “count down from 10” thing everyone says in their videos, but for me I was just talking to the nurses before blacking out and next thing I knew they were telling me it was over and I could leave. The numbness was weird but not a big deal and the pain was minimal throughout. Not once did I experience a dry socket, nausea, or any kind of extreme pain and sleeping was also pretty easy. I ate soup and pasta for a week before slowly and carefully moving on to more solid foods and flushing out my gums after eating anything. You’ll be fine and hopefully your recovery goes well. God bless.

The best thing I ever did before leaving the military (USMC) was having all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at one time . The navy dentist did an amazing and quick removal.

Wisdom teeth are one of nature's many human mistakes

Everyone gets a different experience when getting your wisdom teeth removed. Don’t just go by what one person tells you because you might have the opposite effect. In my case, all four were removed at once, and mines were growing horizontally. I was awake throughout the procedure, it took like 20 minutes or so. They numbed my gums and honestly the needle didn’t hurt when they inserted it to my gums. It’s the aftercare is what really screwed me over. My whole face got swollen and my cheeks bruised really badly. I didn’t go to school for at least a week and a half. I also fainted from the amount of blood loss I had.

I just had my horizontal wisdom tooth removed. It didn't hurt (I was numbed) but there was alot of pressure. But it was taken out fast, felt alot of pressure for maybe 2-3 minutes while the dentist was removing it. Recovery is going well! Don't be scared!

Got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. The removal itself wasn't that painful but once the effect of anaesthesia faded away, it began to hurt. Swallowing food and water is kinda difficult now. Hope it heals soon.

Solomon was right. More wisdom gives you more pain.

When the wisdom tooth in the animation just floated out I wished mine would do the damn same

[zachantafrazier]

The pain that I’m currently dealing with is unbearable! While 5 months pregnant 🥺Can’t wait to get this tooth removed!

[zion]

ugh this is happening to me right now and i can’t get any help because of the virus

[kurzor]

I remember being so high with the anesthesia on my own extraction that I tried to strum the sutures while they we're being placed

Growing out 3 wisdom teeth at the same time and I’m 16 😭😭 it hurts so much and one is twisted so I’m definitely getting that removed which is scary

[DanielLasker]

Just had all four taken out today. Were impacted and started developing cysts. Also my top ones' roots where sitting right at the bed of my sinuses, so the surgeon said there could be a risk of breaching the sinuses....

All that being said, it all went well and it was so much less painful and scary than what people make it out to be. Glad its out the way!

[angelickahalili]

Im in pain right now because of my wisdom tooth, watching this makes me afraid of removal. And also, my parents can't afford the removal of my wisdom tooth. Here I am, doing nothing even I am in pain. :(

[kylarenae]

Mine are growing in and I was confused on why my gums was swelling and hurting when I eat until I watched this 🥴gotta get them removed they hurt every second of the day 😐😬

I got my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 17. They put me under, and within a week I was feeling much better. The good thing is my teeth were beneath the gums so it was easy to get them out
